Artabotrys hexapetalus and Artabotrys zeylanicus are called Manoranjitham– మనోరంజితం because the smell allures the mind -mano means mind; ranjitham means -allures

Thank you very very much … for the name and etymology.

.

I couldn’t find any specific Tamil name for Artabotrys zeylanicus may be due to rare occurrence of the species in the State.
I however noticed that sometimes the Tamil name of A. hexapetalus, ‘Manoranjitham’ (மனோரஞ்சிதம்), is also applied to A. zeylanicus (either by error or) possibly because of its similarity with the former species.

Thanks very very much … for your thoughts. I too found mention of மனோரஞ்சிதம் manoranjitham at flickr.
I would go with this name especially because the name is shared even in Malayalam and Telugu languages.

Annonaceae !

Annonaceae. A suggestion: Such distinct unique hook-like peduncles are seen in Artabotrys species

Looks somewhat close to images at Artabotrys zeylanicus Hook.f. & Thomson, but the inside of the flower looks a bit different.

Yes, very close dear …, but this flower is not open as much of Artabotrys zeylanicus.

Looks like Artabotrys zeylanica but we will need section of the flower to be sure

Thanks a lot dear …, for the ID suggestion. My flower is only open as to this much and not upto flowers of Artabotrys zeylanica while observing Google images,

Can you give section of the flower to be sure or fruit ?

Yes, I will provide it and I am waiting for its fruits,

Please find fruiting image, fruits counts more than A. zeylanica,
