I had labelled it as Brunfelsia pauciflora in my folder. Sometime back similar plant was posted by another member and identified by … as B. calycina.

pls validate. Brunfelsia grandiflora .’Kiss me quick’ Brunfelsia for sure but grandiflora … i doubt it the leaves don’t seem to be very long… longest of the brunsfelia I have seen. I have seen B. Grandiflora in west india in relatives’ gardens, leaves were large and fruits the size of walnuts or bigger. This may be a brunfelsia australis… Thanks, … It appears like Brunfelsia pauciflora Well this is why its always time saving if one can take appropriate pictures at the first go..
of the whole plant, its habitat, height, stem, leaves , branching pattern and flowers: en face, sideways and sepals etc … any special feature. It can be said here that the picture maker may think its such a unique coloration of the flowers that ID will be a snap… but as we time and time again … botanical specimen will lead one a merry dance, making it difficult to id it…
I appreciate your thoughts and advise. Thank you. Sorry for posting only one pic. wow, r. a good nursery man,
now that he knows you would not hurt his favorites, may be he will allow you more leeway. And good to cultivate his goodwill, seems he brings in unusual specimen. (I just made friends with some cactus nursery guy, I am keeping my fingers crossed to pick his brain as to how to keep cacti alive in this monsoon-y weather and to see if he would let me photgraph cacti he has been nursing for more than thirty years, wish me luck)
looking forward to more such cases from you.

Brunfelsia grandiflora D.Don
at Veermata Jijabai Bhonsale Udyan on March 23, 2008 I am having difficulty in choosing between B. grandiflora and B. pauciflora.
The defining character is calyx only 12 mm long and flowers more than 5 in a cluster in B. grandiflora and flowers 1 or more and calyx 25-40 mm long in B. calycina.
At least your second photograph (blue flower) could belong to B. pauciflora. Thank you very much … for validating the ID. If one of the flowers (the 2nd photo showing blue flower) seems to be B. pauciflora – the 3rd and 4th also would be same – belonging to same plant The blue colour fades to white as flower loses its glory.
Only the first one is from different plant, though the flower size I remember was same as that of blue; perhaps a different cultivar of same species. Brunfelsia species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) It is difficult to identify over images based on keys mentioned below, so … knows the exact characters of plant, it would be easy to him to identify species based on characters mentioned below: Key differences in Brunfelsia grandiflora and B. pauciflora:
Brunfelsia grandiflora
Leaves usually 16-31 cm long, scattered, with 5-9 lateral nerves, less than 8 cm wide
Inflorescence lax, often short-branched, flowers 5-many, showy, scentless, violet fading to white with age, with rounded, white ring at mouth,
Corolla tube 2-5 times as long as calyx,
Corolla tube 15-40 mm long,
Corolla lobes spreading at anthesis
Brunfelsia pauciflora
Leaves usually 2-15 cm long, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, with 5-11 lateral nerves, membranaceous to subcoriaceous
Flowers 1-many per inflorescence; terminal, sessile or subsessile, with 1-11 flowers,
Pedicel 11-25 mm long, showy, deep, reddish purple fading to pale lavender or white with age, with white spot at mouth sometimes edged with violet.
Calyx glabrous or with sparse glandular hairs,
Corolla tube 1-11/2 times as long as calyx,
Corolla tube 25-40 mm long,
Reference: Plowman, T.C. (1998). A Revision of the South American Species of Brunfelsia (Solanaceae). Fieldiana – Botany. New Series, (39).
Thank you very much … for providing the characters of both the species.
Posted plant agrees with most characters of B. pauciflora …
The leaves were less than 15 cm; they were not large leaves.
Flowers were mostly single per inflorescence.
I am convinced the posted plant is B. pauciflora.

can anybody help me in identifying the plant. It is a small shrub, with beautifully scented flowers which are purple in color. The flowers were seen to loose the color in heavy rainfall and turn white, but the scent, though faint, remained. The fragrance is similar to that of chameli/ jui (Jasminum).
Is it cultivated or ornamental? Brunfelsia sp to me. Brunfelsia latifolia I think matches with images at Brunfelsia pauciflora as suggested by … rather than images at Brunfelsia americana (syn. Brunfelsia latifolia Steud.)

Taxonomic status of this species is interesting
TLP considers it unresolved
POWO treats it unplaced
WFO considers it synonym of Brunfelsia L. (synonym of genus directly)
It may not be a separate species, but just a cultivar like Brunfelsia pauciflora ‘Magnifica’ or simply Brunfelsia ‘Magnifica’
To me appears close to images at Brunfelsia pauciflora
Sam Growers mention Synonyms: ‘Magnifica’ under Brunfelsia pauciflora ‘Macrantha’.
Gardening in South Africa mentions Brunfelsia ‘Magnifica’
Mgonline mentions both as the same.
Brunfelsia pauciflora ‘Magnifica’ should be fine Nice to see the fruit.. I had never seen it here..!! .
