HOW DENSE IS THE DENSIFLORA :P
Names are often kept in comparison with some other allied species,
hence it creates confusion!!!
To me this plant looks like Combretum indicum, which is the accepted
name for Quisqualis indica. But yes, I dont know much about
densiflora!!

Some earlier relevant feedback:
“what is the difference between Quisqualis indica and densiflora ?” from Vijayadas ji.
“What I can make out is that Q. indica is more vigorous climber, with larger flowers (7cm as against 5 cm of Q. Densiflora). Then densiflora is more in the nature of clusters.
Experts may opine.

“I think densiflora name itself suggest thick or dense cluster oif flowers.
