shrub for id please

[Padmini Raghavan]

This low growing plant was full of flowers which looked like miniature Lagerstroemia indica flowers.

It is blooming now in Chennai after the rains.

 

 The last two pics were taken in July and show the whole plant and its berries.

 Thanks,

Padmini Raghavan.

Lagerstroemia indica ...........normal variation.

[shrikant ingalhalikar]

This is certainly not a Lagerstroemia, as flowers are said to be
miniature. It does resemble Lagerstroemia but that was just a hint.
Stamens can be seen about 10 and not many. It is Malpighia sp, the
Barbados Cherry. It may be M. emarginata or M. glabra. Regards,
Shrikant

Many thanks for the id help.

That was a googly.Got bold out. The flowers look similar to Lagerstroemia. I have not seen any Malpighiaceae member other than Hiptage madablota (Madhavi Lata.)
Thanks for the inputs.

This is Malpigia punicifolia only, as identified by Sri Inghalekarji.   There are  a few varieties of this plant and hence the leaves are variable. --- On Mon, 6/12/10, J.M. Garg <jmg...@gmail.com> wrote:

Appears close to M. urens as per keys at http://efloraindia.nic.in/efloraindia/taxonList.action?id=2606&type=3

Pl. confirm.

Rather appears to be more close to Malpighia emarginata as per images & detailed discussions here.
