... I have been considering this plant to be *P. acerifolium*. Search on internet shows that both *P. suberifolium* (cork-leaved pterospermum) and *P. acerifolium* (maple-leaved pterospermum) share most of the commonly known names in Indian languages.
Couple of pages in a Google book (behold the URL: http://books.google.com/books?id=puIWAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA1525-IA4&lpg=RA1-PA1525-IA4&dq=Pterospermum+suberifolium+difference+acerifolium&source=bl&ots=SiqsnyOO4W&sig=x8FP3mJ9uoZrmrgSqU5-MPuPP3o&hl=en&ei=H0vKSZLSHITO6gOI1bW3Ag&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PRA1-PA1525-IA3,M1 ) ... gives some account of difference among the 2 species ... please note the hand-painting numbered 1526, on page above description of *P. suberifolium*... the leaves illustrated are clearly different. I am convinced that the one discussed here is *P. acerifolium*. Friends and experts to further validate. I have some photos of P. acerifolium at http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=91314...@n00&q=Pterospermum+acerifolium&m=text Regards.
