Most of our observations so far in efi site are of Solandra maxima including those at FOI.
I could not find differences between the two on net.
However, I could only find these references from literature on net on both these species:
Floriculture in India By Gurcharan Singh Randhawa, Amitabha Mukhopadhyay (1986)- Details: Solandra grandiflora
Flora Indica; or Descriptions of Indian plants … Edited by W. Carey … To … By William Roxburgh (1874): Solandra grandiflora
From Floral Database of Tamilnadu :
In view, I feel that we should go Solandra grandiflora Sw. for all our posts, until some other recent literature proves that our plant stated earlier was misidentified in above mentioned literatures.
Request feedback from others to sort out this matter.
A comparison between the two species is here in the attached paper, if somebody wants to sort it out. Attachments (1)- Solandra-bernardello1987.pdf- 1 MB.
