Dinseh ji the leaves resemble Pipal but I did not know they are used for food
untill I read it in Trees of Mumbai! You have listed so many interesting names.
It is really a beautiful tree, but most of the time we take this tree for
granted in Mumbai !

Most of the common names in Indian languages are closely related to (or even
share names of) peepal ... very likely because the leaves of this tree resemble
in some manner to that of peepal.
... while it is easy to find this tree commonly in my vicinity, I am yet to
meet its look-alike Hibiscus tileaceus.

This is a very common tree of Mumbai with changing flower colour from lemon
yellow to deep purple red within 24 hours. Pics taken in the last two days. The
book 'Trees of Mumbai' has some interesting information and I quote pg:159 "
..The flowers turn yellow to purple in 24 hours due to oxidation of the yellow
anthocyanins present in the petals." Further the authors state: "The bark
yields good fibre. All parts of the tree are used by locals for medicine. The
leaves are applied as poultice to swelling and abscess. They are also used for
wrapping food. The deep red, thick oil produced from the seeds is known as
'huile amere'."

Rashida.
