Shrub ID from Bangladesh SM083 : 6 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (2).
Habit: Shrub Ixora sp Could possibly be Ixora brachiata. Possibly Ixora cuneifolia Roxb. efi page on Ixora brachiata & FRLHT page on Ixora cuneifolia ROXB. Pictures are small to see more details. Pl. also check with Ixora nigricans R.Br. ex Wight & Arn. Illustrations of Ixora cuneifolia Roxb. can be seen at
Looks like I. nigricans ! .
Arunachal shrub for ID_RKC08_180811: Habit: Shrub (ca 1 m high) I hope this to be Ixora acuminata.
http://www.iiim.res.in/herbarium/rubiaceae/ixora_acuminata.htm Fruiting plant of the same was uploaded by … a few days back. efi thread Pl validate. This looks like Ixora brachiata Roxb. To me it does not seem to match either with the images at Ixora brachiata or with Ixora acuminata at Ixora balakrishnii Deb & Rout. ?? I think difficult to say about Ixora balakrishnii as per GBIF specimens, without high resolution images. Appears similar to images from Bangladesh at Shrub ID from Bangladesh SM083
