As far as I could tell, this was a large scandent shrub. Can this be Morinda umbellata L.?

Family: Rubiaceae
Date: 3rd April 2015
Place: Lalbagh, Bangalore, Karnataka
Habit: Liana

This seems to be an exotic element. corolla is long. Kindly see the attached Morinda umbellata from Dindugul dt Tamilnadu.

Sorry Anurag Ji,

I couldn't relate it to any FBI species. Description of M. umbellata L. can be found in FoC. And for other Indian and neighbour species check this Thailand paper.

Thank you
Regards

Thank you Santhan sir and Surajit sir, I agree that it does not match Morinda umbellata L.
I also do not know what to make of the thailand paper. If my plant IS listed in the paper, it must come under either Morinda pandurifolia Kuntze or Morinda nana Craib based on scandent habit.

I request Alka Khare ma'am and Aarti Khali ma'am to please take a look.

Anurag Sir, you missed the length of peduncle in Thailand KEY. It cannot be M. nana or M. pandurifolia. I referred to Thailand paper only because it was the latest lit where I could find descriptions of FBI species. And your species fits none of that paper.

Thank you
Regards

  Anurag Ji,
  I don't have a clue.
  Perhaps Raman Ji, who is more familiar with the trees in Lalbagh, can be of help.
  Regards,
  Aarti
