Dear all, I thank all those who responded. But with due respect I may point out that it is not cordia digitata (Lasoda) which is fairly common in parks of Delhi. I am not sure about cordia myxa. I have seen the photos of this tree on internet and there appears to be no similarity between the photos of my tree and cordia myxa.
I await further comments from botanists before classifying it in my database. Thanks Dilip Pandit On Thursday, May 1, 2014, J.M.
