I thought this one should be A. blanchetii (syn: A. violacea).

... this post seems to have got split into two threads.

Copy-pasting my comment into this post:
....................................

... though the colours of the flower are close to that of A. blanchetii (syn: A. violacea), the size of flower looks smaller in comparison ... the size of flower seems to match A. cathartica. Thus, cannot overrule some cultivar of A. cathartica ... 'Cherries Jubilee' is a popular cultivar ... http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/65560/

Please wait for comment(s).

Dinesh ji

Looking at Daves Garden link I could not find any information which would consider 'Cherries Jubilee' as cultivar of A. cathartica. The leaves of A. cathartica are generally narrower, whereas ther are distinctly broader in A. blanchetii. Both in above photograph and cultivar Cherries Jubilee, the leaves resemble A. blanchetii.

Gurcharan ji ... some mistaking from my end ... had noted the link of Dave's Garden in my notes about 3 years back ...  cannot claim they revised contents of their page.

Here are some other links from a fresh search for Allamanda cathartica 'Cherries Jubilee'

Maggie's Garden (read last para "Snippets") ... http://www.maggiesgarden.com/Plant_Profiles/Plant_This/Allamanda/allamanda.html


Not sure whether the posted plant is Allamanda cathartica 'Cherries Jubilee' OR it is always possible that a mistake is commonly carried by many people ... cannot comment about University of Florida.


Regards.

[Gurcharan Singh]

Yes Dinesh ji. It is interesting. Will perhaps have to find out the differences between the two species.

Distributed as Allamanda cathartica ?

Although plant looks A. blachetii at first look, but as Dinesh ji suggested A. cathartica 'Cherries Jubilee' or even 'Cherry Ripe'.  The two species are primarily differentiated by pubescent young shoots, leaves and Calyx in A. blanchetii, all glabrous in A. cathartica. I don;t see any pubescens on any of these.
