Hi,

Lokhandi seedling images

Plant name: Lokhandi

Grows to a medium size tree (?)

Leaves: Opposite

Flowers: White, very fragrant

 

 I went to reopened Academy of development sciences, Kashele and got few plants.

One is this one called Lokhandi. The maali said it has very fragrant white flowers that you can smell from 25 meters!

Happy I searched the net and found at least 3 plants by name of Lokhandi.

Please help me identify this one year old seedling correctly.

1.       This cannot be Memocylon Umbellatum? Can it be? Memocylon has blue flowers. Are they fragrant?

2.       Is it Ixora brachiata? Are I brachiata flowers very fragrant?

3.       It definitely cannot be Lepisanthes tetraphylla?

4.       Can it be Mammea suriga?

 

Thanks and regards

A reply:

"This would be obviously Ixora but unlikely to be I. brachiata because it is a unusual wild plant. If knowingly made, it can be this wild shrub, otherwise it could be I. pavetta a tree sp. Regards, Shrikant"

Hello,

Lokhandi is a name that is used for various species of Ixora. This can be Ixora brachiata however proper identifiaction will need flowers as foliage of Ixora brachiata and Ixora pavetta are quite similar

I think it may be Ixora finlaysoniana as per  https://www.nparks.gov.sg/florafaunaweb/flora/2/1/2133 Looks different from https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/r/rubiaceae/ixora/ixora-pavetta
