Good morning Neil, thanks for your nice photos. This is quite interesting. Available literature mentions striate follicles for W tinctoria and also for W tinctoria ss. rothii. ( as compared with the more lenticelled ones of W. arborea) In a book by S. G. Neginhal, Forest Trees of the Western Ghats the location given for W. tinctoria ssp. rothii is dry forests of Hyderabad north to the Circars so I don't know if this is where the posted tree was found or not. As for the leaves, I''m just going on my observations of the trees in question and my herbarium samples. It seems to be a consistent character.
