Habit :  Shrub

Same Leea sp.

Pl. check

I think close to images at Leea guineense G.Don as per comparative images at Leea


Can you please upload original of the 1st pic (Leea sp. (1). jpg)?
Can you please state the height of this plant?
Is this the same species as in another upload by you – efi thread?


No need to upload the original plate, this is Leea guineensis G. Don.
Leea aequata has greenish-white flower and glands on abaxial leaf surface (please check for these glands when you come across any green-white Leea flower. – link


May I request you to pl. post high resolution images for proper id.


Photographs are not clear to identify exact species. Inflorescence red and flowers appear to be creamish. If there are no setaceous hairs on leaves then L. guineensis, if hairs present then L. setuligera.
This is not L. aequata because flowers are not greenish.

Is it Leea coccinea ‘rubra’?:
I saw a shrub in BPT (Bombay Port trust) garden, Mumbai with red flower buds in the 1st week of june 2011..
Is it Leea coccinea var. rubra?


I think the id is correct. If so, the new name is Leea guineense G.Don of Vitaceae family.
