Looks like Tylophora dalzelli on a Jambul [Syzygium cumini] tree.


Many thanks … for the ID (and for correcting the tree too).
The number of flowers per cluster seem less … is such variation normal ?


Am not so concerned about the lack of flowers as I am about the lack of leaves [while flowering].


Many thanks … Have pointed to some leaves that could be made out … BUT, if you have already noticed them, your concern remains pending. Dear friends / …… is / are there any species close to Tylophora dalzellii ?


Previous relevant discussions


Am convinced with …. ID of Tylophora dalzellii … yet if otherwise, comments are welcome.
