Flower for Id pl.

Location – My home garden, Mumbai.

Date – 05.03.2017

The sapling was brought from nursery and it has bloomed after 3-4 years since I kept the pot in direct sun. The buds and flowers are very delicate and fragrant.

… it must be Wrightia religiosa.

Thanks … Can you pl. tell me it’s Marathi name ?

…, I could not find any Marathi name for this Wrightia. W. arborea is तांबडा कुडा tambda kuda; W. tinctoria is काळा कुडा kala kuda

I would think of, and go with W. religiosa as देव कुडा dev kuda.
