Thanks, Garg ji.

I read the keys described on https://efloraofindia.com/2012/06/27/trichodesma-zeylanicum/ page as follows:

2. Glandular spots on corolla lobes; calyx hastate or cordate …. T.indicum
2. Glandular spots absent on corolla lobes; calyx rounded …. T. zeylanicum

In the posted plant, I am not able to see any glandular spots on corolla lobes, and I see the calyx is rounded, not hastate.

To me, it is T. zeylanicum. Please let me know if I am mistaking.

Regards.

Sometimes, images give better clarity. 

Here, you can see glandular spots around the center of the flower in the brownish area. 

Also calyx is not rounded, if you do the dissection. 

Better to see both the images (if still not clear) at

Thanks, Garg ji.

I am able to analyse only to a certain limit :) so I give up here.

Radha had validated my suggested ID at iNaturalist, as per her understanding.

Hello Radha, if you have any thoughts to justify the posted plant as Trichodesma zeylanicum, please let us know.

Regards.

I think Garg ji might be right. The calyx is cordate here and not rounded.  A pity we don't have more pictures with details.

Thanks very much, Garg ji and Radha, for correcting the ID.

I will revise my notes accordingly.
