But if I’m not wrong Murraya paniculata has big white flowers?

Sorry I do not recognise this plant.....but I do not believe it is a match for Murraya paniculata.

See my images below.

The leaves match with Murraya paniculata and they are aromatic, as mentioned by Jaydip ji. I'm guessing the posted plant is in a stressed condition which accounts for the shrivelled flower buds. Of course it is quite unlike the garden cultivated "kamini" most people are familiar with.

I have zoomed in to see the detail on the flower.

It is extremely clear.

Does this change any ones thoughts.

Detail on image is amazing.

P.S.

Buds look really plump and healthy.

No sign of being shriveled.

Any chance of any more pics?

So sorry...wish I could edit!

Finding this fascinating.

Need more thoughts!

Herbarium. says Corolla 5......up to 10 straight stamens.

Zooming in to mystery flower it clearly shows bud in round 4 part balls.

Sheila, I hope you can come up with a better guess than mine!

Murraya paniculata can have either 4 or 5 petals and up to 10 stamens.

It is not Murraya paniculata. I have Murraya in my garden.

This appears to be Clausena anisata (Willd.) Hook.f. ex Benth. [Rutaceae]. I assume it was cultivated. The species name (anisata) alludes to the crushed leaves being akin to saunf (aniseed) as remarked by Jaydip ji.

Best wishes, Viplav

viplav.

Thank you. perfect ! I would say spot on.

I was positive it wasn't Murraya paniculata ...but hadn't a clue what it was.

On www I have found a pic of the flower buds in round 4 part balls, that match perfectly with what I could see in the images.

I'm sure Viplav is right.

It had to be a Rutaceae member. I had discounted Clausena early on because the leaves are so unlike those I have seen in the wild. It seems they are variable.
