This mesmerisingly beautiful tree stands out from the rest of the forest by its
striking white bark and beautiful large leaves.
The white gum extracted from the bark is used in ice cream and
confectionery items . The inner bark yields a very strong fiber.

Hi Gaurav,
Great picture! However it looks more like Sterculia
villosa. Please check.
With regards,
Neil Soares.

It appears to be Sterculia urens.
In S. villosa the bark is not white and flaking.

regards
Radha

Thanks, Radha ji,
I think it is Sterculia villosa Roxb. only, as per images herein.
Flowers are different in Sterculia urens Roxb.
