Schrebera swietenoides
Family :Oleaceae.
Sharing some pictures shot today evening from Vetal Tekdi Pune.
Earlier I had posted the dried fruits of it.
The old fallen flowers have some similarity to Parijatak flowers.(Nyctanthus arbortrystis)

Satish--

 Very interesting. Is this a common tree? Are flowers fragrant? Is it from tropical regions, or can it take some frost?

 I'd be interested in getting some seed of this if it is available, and try it in Florida, USA.

 Schrebera alata, native to South Africa, is uncommonly grown but successful in California and Florida, USA. It has sweetly-fragrant flowers:

I think it is an endangered species with hardly few trees spotted in my area of observation. The above tree has been observed by me for last one year but it is lone and hasn't produced any fruits though the flowering is profuse.
