One of my friends from Mangaluru, Karnataka forwarded this image seeking ID that I could not place. Kindly help me out.
Habit:Shrub
Habitat:Cultivated
Sighting:Mangaluru,Karnataka
Date:Not known


May I request you to ask him to send high res. images, to check flower details?


Check for Choisya species


Also called Mexicon orange plants widely used in landscaping. I have come across this plant in Southern California.


It is Choisya ternata Kunth, Rutaceae
There are different forms of leaf shape as it is cultivated. 3-5 leaflets, each obovate or linear or linear-lanceolate
Please confirm whether fruit set is there, if so it will become one more invasive to India.


My friend who forwarded the photo has informed me that the subject was found in London and not in Mangaluru.


Yes, appears close to images at Choisya ternata
