Thank you for photos, Mahadeswara ji

and your response to my question about presence or absence of fragrance in Thumbergia fragrans

that was a thread by Shobha

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/BQeFFpz53yw

I wonder why would a physician-botanist of a substantial knowledge and caliber make such a mistake?

or was it a mistake or the species has lost the ability to produce  the necessary oils?

we will perhaps never know.

i am very appreciative of your generosity and all members who are responding to my question

thank you all

Regards

Ushadi

Thanks Aarti ji.

Excerpts  from FoI:

"There has been lot of confusion on why the species name is fragrans. Dr. Roxburgh, who gave the name to this flower, says in his book, Plants of the Coast of Coromandel:
"the plant possesses a peculiar and agreeable fragrance, and the beauty of its flowers, although not fragrant, entitle it to a place in the flower-garden
So, the plant possesses a fragrance, but not the flowers."

Thank you.

There is no fragrant smell even after crushing leaves.
