Dear Mr. Garg

Thank you for the clue. 

Can you throw some light on the black round growth observed at the leaf base? I am attaching one image of comparison. 

Rosy pink new leaves are observed in Callistemon salignus. Is similar thing observed in Callistemon citrinus? My photos clearly show these pink leaves (also creamish yellow) at the tip of the inflorescence. 

When I will get an opportunity I will check the scent of the crushed leaves of the tree in question.

Hi, Vinay ji,

These cultivated species are quite confusing. 

I could not get a hand on good keys net. If you get any, pl. let me know. 

I have gone by our observations as per as per comparative images and details at Callistemon
