Thanks Dr. Vijayasankar. Had thought of that, but T.fragrans looked slightly different to me.                   Regards,                     Neil Soares. --- On Tue, 3/8/11, Vijayasankar <vijay.b...@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,   Thank you all.  According to Dr. Almeida's 'Flora of Maharashtra' Vol 4A , Thunbergia laevis is a synonym of Thunbergia fragrans.    Will have to settle for T.fragrans.                          With regards,                            Neil Soares.   --- On Thu, 3/31/11, prasad dash <prasad....@gmail.com> wrote:

Neil ji

According to the KEW Plant List which has updated all plant names with accepted names and synonyms, T. laevis Nees is to be treated as T. fragrans var. laevis (Nees) C. B. Clarke ex Hook.f. as was done in Flora of British India. This differs from T. fragrans var. fragrans in having flowers two in each leaf axil (you can see that in first photograph, one perhaps dried up and one fresh), pedicel much thickened above in fruit, flowers without fragrans, tube greenish and capsule puberulous.

Thank you Prof. Singh.  Dr. Almeida has mentioned T.fragrans var.laevis as one of the synonyms and that's fine with me - T.fragrans var. laevis it is.                       Regards,                         Neil Soares. --- On Thu, 3/31/11, Gurcharan Singh <sing...@gmail.com> wrote:
