Cordia sebastena. The tree you mentioned is cultivated only at VJBU Mumbai, otherwise it is a coastal tree in Andaman. Flowers are pale orange and larger. Regards,

Shrikant ji,

Thanks for confirming the id.

I have seen the one at VJBU, Mumbai.

The flowers resembled those, hence I put it up for validation.

Another Cordia with bright orange flowers is very common here.

Regards,

Aarti

Aarti ji,

The one shown by you is C. sebastena, the bright coloured common Cordia. The tree named by you (C. subcordata) is rare and is planted in VJBU.Regards,

Shrikant ji,

Thanks for the feedback.

I will post Cordia subcordata seperately.

Aarti
