I would guess this to be Sterculia villosa from the slightly greenish,
white, shiny bark. I have not seen S. acuminata so can't be sure.

Dear members
Not A. ferruginea atleast, which has 4-6 pairs of pinnae and 15-30 pairs of
leaflets. I think we have to choose between A. catechu and A. chundra which
have 10-20 pairs of pinnae and 30-50 pairs if leaflets as seen in this
plant.

Dear Gurcharan ji,
I used to always get confused with this and *Phragmites karka*. Pl tell us
how to distinguish them. In our place we have one with compact inflorescence
and we used to identify it as *Arundo donax*.
In that way it looks different to me.

Sterculia appears unlikely, because in few flowers where fruits have started
forming, we can see a single ovary where as in Sterculia there should be up
to 5 separate ovaries. Also the flowers would be larger in Sterculia.
The confusion earlier arose because Sterculia villosa was fol
