This Memecylon sp. was flowering in a pot. Had grown to about 3 feet in height.

I assume the plant was collected from some place in the western ghats and then propagated in this garden. Can it be Memecylon randeriana? http://biotik.org/india/species/m/memerand/memerand_en.html

very nice. cant help with differential but appreciate your pictures

Thank you so much ma’am. This was from before I started going to forests regularly. Hence was pleasantly surprised to find this beauty of a plant flowering in a nursery.

looking like Cryptolepis

This Could be Memecylon sp.

---

… unless … is confident about the plant growing into a tree, my guess: this could be some Asclepiad climber.

---

My guess is that this could be a species of either Ixora or Memecylon.

Appears close to images at Memecylon depressum Benth.
