A small tree with white flowers

This tree with lots of white flowers were fairly common in Dibang
Valley in Arunachal Pradesh. The tree was not large. Photograph taken
in October 08 same time as my flowers posted before this one. Request
identification please?

Looks like Luculia, probably L.grandiflora or possibly L. gratissima. (Rubiaceae). Beautiful shrubs where they can be grown. Alas, Florida (USA) is too hot for them. Regards-- Ken Greby Palmetto Bay, Florida USA --- On Thu, 1/22/09, kiran srivastava <srivas...@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, Kiran ji,

In view of different views, can you check up & confirm the species again?

 

Here is the relevant portion of earlier reply in this regard:
