Kydia calycinia of Malvaceae family is a Native species that is seen around Pune. It has very pretty flowers and interesting lobed leaves. It is seen in the wild outside Pune yet I have never got to see it.
Hence I was overjoyed to find it at a plantation done by some dedicated nature enthusiasts. I kept track of it on my morning walks and last week was happy to see it full of buds.
Its called Warang in Marathi.
Here it is

| Since I was there before the Sun was just about rising, the buds had not opened fully. |
The leaves usually have 7 nerves and the petals are hairy. Follow this link to see more flower images.

Happy to finally see this lovely tree and flowers but I need to visit again to see the fully blooming flowers.
