Hi
Taken snaps of the flowers and leaves of this Calotropis plant (Asclepiadaceae) in a village of West Bengal yesterday morning...I love the wild fragrance of these flowers.
Gynandrous condition is found in this plant.
The stamens and carpels unite completely to form a pillar-like structure called Gynostegium.

Beautiful pictures of Calotropis gigantea Shantanu ji. The white vareity is quite
rare in South India I guess. I have never seen it in the wild, except in
garden where it is kept as sacred. Its interesting to know that you
love the smell of these wild flowers. I always thought they were just
weeds.

Dear all,
I suspect this shrub to be a different species (C. procera), because of the leaf morphology. Please help me to resolve this.
