Oroxylum flowers supposed to have 5 stamens which are nicely seen here.
Somehow when I checked my earlier collection I have a photograph of the flower taken from a tree in Pune city which is showing 8 stamens. Any idea what can the reason be?

Dear Sir,
I need information regarding the colour variation of the  flower in this sp. During 2009, I have photographed these two flowers just 15-20 m away from each other. The differences in flower colour is very prominent. Is it due to any nutrient deficiency?

Local variation may be? or environmental toxin induced changes??

In one tribe of these trees in northern Calcutta I found five
stamens...
I am posting them separately under a different thread.... today

there is another stand of these trees in a sanctuary on southern
fringes..
... will have to wait till next spring to get the flowers.. and do
dissection

Hi,
  My trees were also flowering last Sunday. Sending a few photographs [the fallen flowers are from a previous year]. Have seen colour variations in the fallen flowers but never actually noticed [or looked for] more than 5 stamens.
 Please also check this link for some of my past photographs :
 
 
and also the archives of this group for my posts related to this tree [Seed dispersal & 'Pseudo-vivipary'].
                           With regards,
                             Neil Soares.

Satish ji,

In Oroxylum the perfect stamens are 4 and the fifth stamen is shorter.
Pls look at the inflorescence of Oroxylum, the buds are very crowded.
The fallen corolla that shows 8 stamens also shows 8 corolla lobes
which are usually 5. In "Pune" flower 2 corollas seem to be fused to
give 8 lobes/stamens and the 2 lobes/reduced stamens seem to be
absent. This abnormality can be seen in some other flowers as well.
Oroxylum is pollinated by small bats hence the flowers bear foul smell
of over-ripe jackfruit, the bee seen near the style (left after the
corolla is fallen by bats) seems just a visitor. The colour variation
from white, yellow, pink to purple can be seen on night blooming
Oroxylum flowers. Regards, Shrikant
