Gurcharan ji, I think you have inadvertently mixed up the filenames ... T. laurifolia and T.grandiflora

Regards.

[Dr Gurcharan Singh]

No Dinesh ji

They are properly uploaded. You please observe the photographs carefully and compare with Hawaii website links sent with the other mail

Gurcharan ji ... I confused myself !!

Dear Gurcharan ji,
Thanks for bringing up this discussion. According to the
description on
http://www.hear.org/pier/species/thunbergia_laurifolia.htm
http://www.hear.org/starr/hiplants/reports/pdf/thunbergia_laurifolia.pdf
the leaves of Thunbergia laurifolia have margins almost entire or
slightly toothed. The same can also be seen in pictures on
http://www.hear.org/starr/plants/images/species/?q=thunbergia+laurifolia
http://www.hear.org/pier/imagepages/thumbnails/thunbergia_laurifolia.htm
In your pictures, and also on those on FOI, the leaves are strongly
lobed. Also, the base of the leaves of T. laurlifolia is supposed to
be obtuse or slightly heart-shaped. The leaves in your pics and those
on FOI have deeply heart-shaped bases.
Hence I think all these are Thunbergia grandiflora only.
Best wishes
- Tabish

Tabish ji

I request you to kindly compare my plant with the herbarium specimen of your first link and Last photograph of your third link.

 

I am uploading fresh photographs of distant shots of leaves of two species as uploaded by me as T. grandiflora and T. laurifolia, respectively, for comparison.

Garg ji

Those still having doubts about its identity are requested to view these links. Lobed and slightly cordate leaves are a common feature of T. laurifolia:
