Yes, they are easy to confuse especially as in the Mumbai area they both grow in the same forests. It is much more difficult to differentiate from pictures than from the tree itself.

Leaf venation differs, the colour of new foliage in each species is distinct, the colour and texture of the bark in each is different.

Radha

Great, Radha

next we must take on leaf venation as a must photograph

esp in cases of such trees that have leaves etc as main feature

and not spectacular flowers

So Aalka

if you and when you go back to this Udyan

take the back of the leaf pictures

Regards

Ushadi
