Mussanda philippica is a very common introduced species to India. The
plant in the picture doesnt looks like M. philippica as the petals are
narrow and pointed, whereas, in M.philippica, the petals are shorter
but broader and the bract has many color variations. It neither looks
like M.roxburghii as it doesnt have the persistent calyx (the key
character of M. roxburghii).

I will certainly look in to this later and try id the same. if Raghu
can send us a picture of flower in which the calyx is highlighted or
clearly visible that would of great help to id it correctly. Please
add a picture with leaf too as it is an inevitable part that carry
lots of key charecters.

Regards
Giby

Thank you Giby. I stand corrected.

Yazdy.

Mussaenda for sure, if it was ornamental I would have thought it to be
Mussaenda luteola or it may be an escape too.
Nice pics Mr. Raghu
and thanks a lot for your support Dr. Giby.

For those who are not aware, my dearest friend Dr. Giby got married recently.
Best wishes to you and your wife for a happy married life ahead.
Take care and enjoy.
Pankaj

Rubiaceae Week: White Mussaenda with Orange flowers from Arunachal Pradesh #AR08

 

eflora ID assistance requested earlier points very close to Mussaenda roxburghii - Himalayan Mussaenda.

--- I agree with the descriptions - leaf shape, flower tube, flower -short pointed tip, 

--- Not sure of the  hairy stem and mid rib,  flower cluster patterns etc.. 

-- I feel its close to the Mussaenda roxburghii

After going through detailed description in FBI from IBIS Flora, I feel it more closer to Mussaenda glabra as per FBI description rather than Mussaenda wallichii (which also does not have distribution in Arunachal)
