Madhuca longifolia var.latifolia

[satish phadke]

I spotted this big Mahua tree on Sunday15th Feb 2009 on the outskirts of Pune.After looking at the features it appears to be
Madhuca longifolia var.latifolia
The differentiating features seen here(As compared to Madhuca longifolia var.longifolia)are
Bigger and rounded leaves not longish
Flowers also bigger.
Anthers 3 seriate as against 2 seriate.
This tree had shed all its leaves so I had to collect dried leaves from the ground for measurements.

Could some one enlighten whether Madhuca indica (M. latifolia) is now
considered a subspecies of M. longifolia, and how to distiguish them?
