The tree was recently planted and the height being only about 1.2 metre. Light pink flowers each about 2-2.5 cms wide. Leaves about 20 cm wide. the beautiful plant seem to be Dombeya wallichii
dombeya pulchra I hope Likely to be Dombeya spectabilis.. Dombeya species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available)
Dombeya spectabilis?
Possibly D. spectabilis
Thank you all – i take this to be Dombeya spectabilis based on color of the flower.
color is a reason for classification???? really? that’s not how taxonomy works
I m sorry – I m not a trained botanist and being swayed by “peer-pressure” of multiple ID’s pointing towards D. spectabilis. After your rebuke I m going over this again. You have yourself suggested D. pulchra as the species, which seems more appropriate given the size of the leaf i have reported as being about 20 cm across, while for D. spectabilis the leaf is supposed to be only 2-7 cm across and long according to flowersofindia and 10-12 cm long according to the Dombeya page on efi.
I need to recheck the leaf measurements again when I m back at the site next month. Kindly please do suggest what other features i should look out for. I am not botanist either, …
I just like the idea of classification based on what we can see the leaf as you say … yes, a point to think about and consider. and the flower grouping…ie the inflorescence and the inside structures / face of the flower looks closer to d. pulchra color as you know can be treacherous to id esp. in red/pink// violet range in digital; and soil condition, metals presence or absence etc can be used to change color of flowers… as we have done for along time in case of hydrangea… blue if you add aluminium sulphate to soil to change the ph… … etc. so just shades of a color in one picture can not /should not be used to id.. if the color is consistent over a number of plants and over seasons it may be a true color… otherwise not. I live and learn Looking the lobes of the leaves if I had to guess then this could be Dombeya spectabilis. Please check flora of Pakistan, they have 5 species:
Yours should belong to one of them.

Dombeya sp. Thank you for ID …! Dombeya pulchra N. E. Br. (accepted name) Dombeya spectabilis Bojer as per images herein. attaching an image of a Red Base Jezebel visiting flowers of Dombeya spectabilis.
Hello, attaching an image of Commander visiting flowers of Dombeya spectabilis.
I came across Dombeya spectabilis (at that time I was not knowing the identity of this plant and I thought it is a type of Hibiscus mutabilis or CHANGEABLE ROSE) in the botanic garden of F R I Dehradun, that was during 1986-1988. I saw the same plant at Tezpur during 2001-2003. I find this plant at Cooch Behar.
I was observing butterfly visitors on the flowers of this plant since 2007. I have recorded the following butterfly visitors on this plant.
1. RED BASE JEZEBEL
2. RED SPOT JEZEBEL
3. BLANK SWIFT
4. PLAIN PUFFIN
5. COMMON CROW
6. COMMANDER
The plant is in bloom during November/December and Red Base jezebel/ Red Spot are the most common visitors. Interested persons may like to find out why only few butterfly species visit this flower when the display is quite impressive.

Looks like a Dombeya species
Yes Dombeya calantha, I suppose
Thanks for the id

Yes this is Dombeya mastersii. When flower mature they are look brown other wise cream color.
Thank you so much … for such prompt ID !

Looks to be a Dombeya species, possibly D. cacuminum, but I’m not positive.
…, thank you for information!
Shape of leave and flower is very similar. I think my photo is after blooming.
But I wait for other’s opinion too.

DOMBEYA CAYEUXII: Some time in 1986, I saw a a beautiful flowering plant at Forest Research Institute campus in Dehradun. At that time I didn’t know the identity of this plant. I saw the same plant at Tezpur (Assam) and here at Cooch Behar. This is what KSGopalaswamiiengar says in his book (Complete Gardening in India) about the genus of Dombeya. “Dombeya is a genus of large quick growing dense packed shrubs, very handsome in bloom in November to January when they are one mass of colour. The flowers are borne in plenty and they are closely packed in errect or pendulous corymbs at the ends of new shoots.”
The attached image is of Dombeya cayeuxii.
We have only this observation of the stated species in efi so far.
However, details are not clear from your posted images. May I request you to pl. check your images with those available at http://www.malvaceae.info/Genera/Dombeya/gallery.html and confirm.
Also request you to post detailed images showing all aspects.
Also check with other links at
https://toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/DOMBEYA_CAYEUXII.htm
I think appears more close to images at Dombeya spectabilis Bojer I located a plant in full bloom today. You are right my earlier post has identified the plant wrongly.
Attaching a collage of the plant (Dombeya spectabilis). Attachments (1)
I found this species in Mayur Vihar, Delhi near Sanjay Lake in the month of June.
Can these be young plants of Ricinus communis?
Lack of closer view leads me too towards what … have suggested.. I think this is Ricinus communis only…
Yes it looks like Ricinus communis to me too
Thank you … But do Ricinus commuis grow in wild? Also I am attaching these pictures which I think is the same species I found in a park in Vikas Puri. Flowers were found in the month of February.
The pics clearly suggest that the flowering plant is a Dombeya sp. (Malvaceae). However, it has to be ascertained that both plants (plant in flowering and plant earlier uploaded) are same.
First picture Ricinus communis and the other ones are Dombeya acutangula.
The following images are of Dombeya spectabilis Bojer
I D Please : 4 posts by 3 authors. 1 correct image as above. Please find attached images for id.
1st plant is a Dombeya species, probably Dombeya spectabilis (if the
leaves are palmately lobed) References: Catalogue of Life The Plant List Ver.1.1 IPNI |
