Garg ji, requesting you to take a relook at the links that you have pointed out.
The photos and herbaria show trees in bloom. The posted plant is in budding condition therefore looks slightly different. Otherwise *the inflorescence matches very well*. *The leaves match very well*. I put the photos from the post of Strobocalyx arborea (Buch.-Ham.) Sch.Bip. :: The Nilgiris :: Jan 28, 2026 · 9:41 AM IST <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/EvbPY7R0NKQ/m/8mpnJysgCAAJ> on *Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/p/DVBRhYojc79/>*. Again Arun Kumar N commented that it is *Monosis* coming into bloom. Regards.
