Garg ji, Edward Goucher is a cultivar of A. grandiflora and clone selected from  cross between A. schumanii and A. grandiflora
A. schumanii has two sepals only, A. grandiflora more than 2, I have shared flowers of both
This is what Bailey Hortus Third Third says
A, grandiflora leaves glossy (not so in schumanii), semievergreen (vs deciduous), leaves upto 4 cm long acute (vs 2.5 cm, obtuse mucronate), sepals 2-5 (vs 2), flowers in panicles (vs on short lateral branches)
