In Mussaenda, it is the sepals that get modified into coloured leaf
like structures and not the bracts..out of 5 sepals present in it one
gets modified into coloured structure either white or red..this plant
is Mussaenda frondosa of the family Rubiaceae..

Found it at Murudeshwara, South Kanara, Karanataka on 14 May 2007.
Considering it as Mussaenda glabrata ... M. glabrata and M. frondosa are perhaps related by synonymy.

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise pl.
Earlier relevant feedback:
“In Mussaenda, it is the sepals that get modified into coloured leaf

gets modified into coloured structure either white or red
..this plant

In M. frontosa the flowers are thick and densely arranged whereas, in
M bellila (the old name was M. laxa/M. frontosa var. laxa) the flowers
are arranged loose/lax.
If you get the specimen, while brushing through the leaves and if you
feel rough hairs on the leaves you can be sure of that as M frontosa
but if there are small smooth hairs that is M.bellila.
In most of the ecology text books and other introductory books it has
been mentioned as M. frontosa only. That had given an impression that
there is only one species that is M.frontosa.
Please be more cautious when deal with minute characters. Taxonomy is
interesting but it should be taken as a serious subject because it is
mostly based on minute characters and need your discretion to reach a
valid id.
Do refer a valid flora, I would like to emphasis not e-flora. I say
this because we found lots of mistake in many of the e floras that
might happened while copying the old literature in to e-format.
Unless you are thorough with the original description. You never find/
understand the mistake.
We had this problem all throughout when we were trying to make a key
for plants for farmers and layman.
Here the picture is of M.bellila. Vijayashankar was correct. He might
have handled several individals of this species from different parts
of India as he worked all throughout India and collected specimens
from different parts. He he may not go wrong.

Giby

There are very few instances of frontosa in Google search results.
