Rubiaceae Week :: Mussaenda erythrophylla – Mussaenda – bangalore – RA: The mussaenda is an evergreen shrub related to coffee trees and native to Asia. It may be a rather small shrub, or large to 30 feet, like a small tree.
Commercial nurseries often train mussaenda to be tree-like in form for landscape use. Their natural habit is to produce many stems and it is quite a rambler.
It has silky, hairy, soft medium-green leaves. The plant’s color comes from bracts and not the small, often yellow, white or orange, flowers at the center of each bract. This is the same color-producing system used by tropicals such heliconia and bougainvillea. Bracts may be seen in several colors including rose, white, red, pale pink and some mixtures. Very Beautiful pics of lovely garden Plant. I think M. philippica cv. Queen Sirikit Thanks … I will check it out

There is confusion on whether this particular cultivar belongs to M. philippica or M. erythrophylla, and sometimes simply listed as Mussaenda ‘Queen Sirikit’. However, the two species are quite distinct in corolla, it being yellow in M. philippica and white to creamy white with red centre in M. erythrophylla. The following key should help in separating cultivated members of Rubuaceae.
Perhaps more than flower colour which can vary the more important difference is
M. philippica: all flowers in the inflorescence with enlarged calyx lobes
M. erythrophylla: only few flowers in inflorescence with enlarged calyx lobes
