does this Bogor Botanical Gardens also have the Ylang Ylang VINE
variety?
We have the short tree variety here in Kolkata: the Cananga
odorata... which is flowering right now...
never seen seeds here though...

Usha Di ji,There are many cultivated vareities or Cananga ordorata, generally the shorter varieties are preferred. I have seen many fruiting trees in house gardens in Coimbatore. The fruits look similar to Polyalthia fruits.Sid.
Dear Ushadi Ji
There should be some Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) in Bogor Bot Gard.
This short plant is very common in Indonesia. Even my mother has got
this shrub. I think it flowers all the time, I ve never seen the
fruits and seeds.. The flowers are sold a lot in the market and in
some places near the cemetry.

Recently a nursery was selling a dwarf Quis Qualis... had very small
leaves and a few isolated flowers, not the big bunches one sees in
regular garden Quis Qualis that climbs over trees and walls here...
ANYWAY: DO YOU BY CHANCE REMEMBER THE PERSON WHO DID THE STUDY OR THE
PAPER THEY MAY HAVE PUBLISHED...??.
thanks
Usha di
