Gurcharan ji,
To me your Madhuca-longifolia-var-longifolia picture looks like M.
longifolia var. latifolia. My perception is that South Indian Mahua
leaves are more mango-like. Leaves in your picture appear to be
obovate, which is a Mahua feature. However, I could easily be wrong,
with not much experience with these species. I hope some others can
throw light on it.
