Tabash ji I think there is some confusion. The leaves of T. bellerica (Baheda) look much similar to Madhuca longifolia (Mahua), from which they can be diiferentiated on the basis of number of veins. In Madhuca leaves have pointed tip, not in T. bellerica In both leaves are in clusters at tips of branches, and reddish when young.
T. muelleri looks much similar to T. arjuna (Arjun) with much narrower leaves narrowed at both ends. I could differentiate them only when seen in fruits. Fruits of T. muelleri are without wings (and look similar to T. bellerica -hence the confusion on Flowers of India website) whereas those of T. arjuna are clearly winged.
