Close up of the flower is a rear sight... usually we get to see the
fallen flowers here.. since picking of flowers is a no no and the
trees we have in our parks are 30 - 40 years old.. hence quite tall,
beyond our reach... this is unique... thank you...

The closeup of the flower looks as if I am looking at the flower itself and not the photograph. Beautiful

It is called as undi उंडी or Punnag.पुन्नाग A tree common in coastal parts. I have seen these in Coastal Konkan near Rajapur. Many trees in Pondicherry too.
In Pune one tree is present In Abasaheb Garware college; One in Karve nagar in the lane opposite Tathawade Udyan. Was flowering in last fortnight.

Dear All including Giby ji and Satish ji :
In an ethnobotany course a few years ago, we were told by a visiting professor (name forgotten) :
in the old days the seeds were collected by coastal village folks (read women) and used for oil lamps....
recently saw conferences being advertised internationally about use of Calophyllum inophyllum cultivation for profit for bio diesel industry ....
so its old wisdom gathered by these women from their and their ancestors' experiences and use of their innate intellect , wonder if anybody thought of compensating them for their "patent" and "TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER" ? These same farmers // poor folks are asked to fork over major money for hybrid or "improved" seeds and pay for intellectual rights of MNC scientists !!!!
Go figure...

Absolutely right Usha di.
Local folks still use the fruits for oil.

In Tamil Nadu the oil is not only used for lighting lamps but also
used in treating skin diseases. The tree is a sacred tree and planted
in temple premises (Shiva). A beautiful specimen tree is seen inside
Mylapore temple ( Kapaleswarar koil), Chennai.
