Thanks, Santhan ji,

I think the taxonomy of Crataeva species found in India is very confusing. I think Crataeva magna (Lour.) DC syn. of Crateva religiosa G.Forst. does not exist in India (?).

 

I think the information available here will be useful: Crateva & Crateva adansonii subsp. odora (Lot os discussions)
