Sterculia urens Roxb. [Malvaceae].

It seems a few stray flowers had lingered late into July. Usually, this tree tends to bloom vigorously when leafless.

Best wishes, Viplav

Dear Viplav ji,
Yes, it is Sterculia urens.
Again, yes it is correct, as you said, one, only one inflorescence is left for me.
Thank you very much for ID my tree, with kind regards, Sam
