Petrea Volubilis (27/04/2011-NSJ-01): – Petrea Volubilis for sure. I will send the photos taken in Mysore recently.

Lamiaceae & Verbenaceae Week: Petrea volubilis:
The images in this post consist of a Petrea volubilis ‘classical (first 2 images) from one plant and the rest of the images from another plant, the latter being a scandent shrub, 10-12 ft tall. I was not sure whether the scandent shrub images were indeed of Petrea volubilis because they looked so different until I saw something similar in Top Tropicals labeled Petrea arborea. A quick check with the ars-grin database confirmed the taxon listed as a synonym of P. volubilis.
I’m a trifle surprised that the variation has not been listed as a sub-species for the morphological (in structure) difference (subject to my identification being correct) is quite evident and significant. A nice series of photographs. Why don’t you list down the differences (other than habit), if they look so different?. This will help in further investigation.
I have seen the same differences, in flowers of the vine..Petrea volubilis and the sp called arborea…
genetic differences are bound to show up…if the progeny of the two repeats the vine-like Versus the shrub…
The shrub like petrea I saw was at a nursery owned and run by a man who is the president of the NE indian Nursermen… or some such organization…. I’ll go back and photograph them again in details and see if I can buy the two cuttings .. .established in large pots…
MY QUESTION TO …: IS THERE ANY LAB THAT DOES GENETIC ANALYSIS OF ORNAMENTALS?

Petrea arborea, a tree species now merged with Petrea volubilis, a climber.

Scientific name : Petrea Volubilis
We call it in Bengali – Nilmonilata. In English ‘Purple Wreath’.
Family: Verbenaceae
Woody climber, leave stiff and rough, deeply veined.
Interesting Flower – pale blue mauve stars usually mistaken as flower, but they are actually calices. Dark purple colured tiny flowers rest in the calices. One purple petal has white patch in the middle.

Sincerely,
Petrea volubilis, Verbenaceae, Introduced to Nepal I guess ! yes I found it cultivated as ornamental. . Flower for Id – ID21022023SH1: 2 high res. images. Flower for Id pl.
Is this Petrea volubilis ? It had grown on the tree like a creeper/parasite. So unsure. Location – Bhubaneswar, Odisha
Date – February 2023 Yes ! Petrea volubilis Yes, as per images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/03/20/petrea-volubilis/ yes, . Petrea volubilis var. alba: 3 images.
Petrea volubilis is seen at many places. I came across similar plant but with white flowers. This encounter was in Lalbagh, Bengaluru. This variety is referred to as Petrea volubilis var. alba. I expected the petals to be seen on the ground below the vine, as in case of blue variety, but I was disappointed. I could not see them fallen on the ground in my visit to Lalbagh on 8 OCT 2023. During my next visit on 29 OCT 2023, I could see the petals on the vine itself. However these petals were not spreading out but forming a tube. In some flowers I could see some half opened petals. On some flowers I saw wilted petals with change in colour from white to brown. This explains why the petals were not seen fallen on the ground. In Lalbagh this vine is located at 12°56’52.48″N 77°35’6.31″E. .
