Hi,
 This also looks like Lagerstroemia speciosa. L.indica is generally called Crepe Myrtle.
                        Regards,

Dr Neil ji,
Which is L reginae then?
What is the diff between L reginae & L speciosa?
Both are called Queen Crape Myrtle?

Hi,
 The Queen's Flower tree / Pride of India / Crepe flower tree -  Lagerstroemoia flos-regina is a synonym of L.speciosa locally called Taman / Jarul is also the state tree of Maharashtra.
 The Crepe Myrtle tree - Lagerstroemia indica is an exotic, a native of China.
                  Regards,
                   Neil Soares.
