Vijaysankar ji, thank you for the lead. The plant matches in respect
of lower calyx lobe but it lacks the red spots on the upper petal and
it has no spines at all. Is there anything close to C. spinosa?
Regards, Shrikant

I have confirmed that this is C. spinosa, a tree originating from Peru
and known as 'Tara' tree. Thanks to Vijaysankar for ID. Regards,
