Ixora chinensis ?? Sir i think Tarenna asiatica.
Does not match with images at Tarenna asiatica and Ixora chinensis Lam.
To me appears close to images at Ixora polyantha Wight as per comparative images at Ixora
Pl. check
Please check for Ixora parviflora ?
Pl. check with images of Ixora parviflora at
Ixora roxburghii ??
What are the species reported from your area ?
The following species are recorded in Mizoram :- Ixora acuminata, I.roxburghii, I.subsessilis & I.undulata.
I examined all the species reported in your area by you.
Does not matches with images at Ixora undulata Roxb.
Keys are give at Floristic Diversity of Assam: Study of Pabitora Wildlife Sanctuary By P. J. Bora, Yogendra Kumar
Also does not match with the description of Ixora subsessilis Wallich ex G. Don given at Flora of China was well as per the keys above.
Keys are give at Floristic Diversity of Assam: Study of Pabitora Wildlife Sanctuary By P. J. Bora, Yogendra Kumar mentions Ixora acuminata Roxb., but there is no mention of it in Catalogue of Life; WCSP mentions it as unplaced. GBIF mentions it but does not give distribution in this part of the world and specimens look different from your post.
Catalogue of Life mentions Ixora acuminata Thwaites as a syn. of Ixora thwaitesii Hook.f. with distribution in Andaman Is. and Sri Lanka. Your images seems to match with it as per high resolution images in Gbif as per Specimen one and two
In view of above all this, I feel your plant is Ixora thwaitesii Hook.f. syn. Ixora acuminata Thwaites
Thanks a lot sir
Ixora parviflora ????
Is this also reported from Mizoram?
. Already identified as Ixora thwaitesii as per discussions at MS June,2018/05 Ixora sp. for ID
