Friends,

Saw this tree in IIT Mumbai Campus. Thought it was Lagestroemia Sp.
Could somebody confirm? The flowers look slightly different to me.

The structure of the flowers looks the same as of Lagerstroemia sp. However, let experts opine.

 I believe it is decidedly a Lagerstroemia species, perhaps L. floribunda or L. loudonii. The latter has tan tomentum on the foliage. It could also be some other local species; perhaps someone else knows.

Hi Mr.Swaminathan,
It is the Crepe Myrtle Tree [Lagerstroemia indica] a native of China.

 Neil--

 I'm not certain if it is L. indica. The two-tone flowers (faded ones lighter in color) are more typical of l. floribunda. Also, the inflorescence shape does not look like L. indica to me.

 L. floribunda (and L. loudonii) are warm-subtropical to tropical species. They would not grow in areas receiving any frost. I'm not sure of the climate in the area in which the tree is growing, but if it receives frost, I would be more inclined to then go with L. indica.

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.

Some earlier relevant feedback:
