I am certain it is *Dolichandrone* sp. for the spathaceous calyx <http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/img/pdf/Dolichandrone%20atrovirens/534.pdf.jpg> seen in your photos (2), (4) and (93).* Stereospermum suaveolens *does not have such a calyx as seen in the FOI photos <http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Fragrant%20Padri%20Tree.html> that you have provided the link for. If you compare the calyx there and in your photos, the difference will be quite apparent.
*Dolichandrone* sp. is very much a wild one in our area, Tumkur included (*Dolichandrone atrovirens <http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=908&cat=1> *being the commonest one). There is an error in the photos on Herbarium JCB in this case. The image in the *Stereospermum suaveolen*s <http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=920&cat=1> page showing flowers belongs to *Dolichandrone* sp. If you compare the other characters they dont match *Stereospermum* as well, such as the flowers being in large panicles <http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/img/herb/Stereospermum%20suaveolens/P1010656.JPG> whereas your photos show a much shorter inflroescence.
