Some earlier relevant feedback 9from another thread https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/f051049d7455a8c4?hl=en) :

 

"As per FoC, W. arborea has corona shorter than anthers. ......

 

But I need some inputs from you all.......Garg ji's pictures in Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wrightia_tinctoria_in_Hyderabad_W2_...) have pubescens on leaves & inflorescence.

 

But they are glabrous in these links:

&     http://www.flickr.com/photos/21123120@N07/4682475892/in/photostream/#/

 

Another link for W. pubescens (?)..
http://www.flickr.com/photos/phuonglovejesus2782010/5543230704/in/pho.......
...here the corona is completely different from the posted picture here. And I have questions also about the distribution of W.pubescens in India (and MH).

Let's explore further...

Thanks Dr.Usha, for the response. The following links provide keys to
different species of Wrightia:
