A. cathartica, long cylindrical tube and much shorter swollen upper half is distinctive, in A. schottii cylindrical portion is much shorter than moderately swollen upper portion

A. cathartica : A tropical twining vine with deeply veined, whorled leavesand large, trumpet shaped bright yellow flowers.
A. nerifolia (Syn. of Allamanda schottii Pohl): A bush typically grows to 4-5 ft tall. It bears clusters of yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers with orange-red throat stripes. Flowers are bell-shaped with a golden yellow corolla, striped orange at the throat.

Allamanda cathartica


Yes Sir, it is Allamanda cathartica L., the plant secretes white latex
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=101055.
My earlier post was also Allamanda cathartica L., maybe a different cultivar. Checked both the plants today.

Cultivated?


I guess it is cultivated.


This could be Allamanda cathartica Cultivar ‘Stansill’s Double’.
I had seen in Lalbagh, Bangalore.


Agree with …, Allamanda cathartica ‘Stansill’s Double’.


This is a species of Allamanda species (double flowered) , mostly Allamanda cathartica yellow variety.

This should be Allamanda cathartica L. (*For flower morphology doubts check its synonym as Allamanda cathartica  var. williamsii (auct.) L.H.Bailey).

I guess Allamanda cathartica  var. williamsii (auct.) L.H.Bailey). is the correct ID!

Is it an Allamanda ?


Bush allamanda, A. neriifolia.


Thanks, … Here are links:
http://hort.ufl.edu/shrubs/ALLNERA.PDF (details & drawings),
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Allamanda_neriifolia (pictures)


I think Allamanda cathartica


I think the difference given in another post as below by Singh ji may be more appropriate to differentiate them as per POWO (Allamanda schottii Pohl) and POWO (Allamanda cathartica L.):
A. cathartica, long cylindrical tube and much shorter swollen upper half is distinctive, in A. schotii cylindrical portion is much shorter than moderately swollen upper portion”

This way only posts at Allamanda schottii Pohl (accepted name) may be correct and others may be of Allamanda cathartica L. only.


Apocynaceae (dogbane family) » Allamanda schottii
al-uh-MAN-duh — named for Dr. Allamand of Leyden who sent seeds to Linnaeus
SHOT-ee-eye — named for Arthur Carl Victor Schott, German-born naturalist
commonly known as: bush allamanda, dwarf golden trumpet
Native to: tropical South America
Attached views from various gardens: Kamala Nehru Park, Mumbai; a housing complex, Thane; Hotel Leela, Goa
… for high-res views: Flickr


Could this be Allamanda cathartica, see tubular lower portion, longer than upper swollen portion?

Thanks …. I have revised my notes accordingly.

Again, here the posted pictures have plants of bushy and dwarf habit, with almost Nerium-like leaves. It could be that it is Allamanda cathartica var. schottii (Pohl) L.H.Bailey & Raffill … synonym of Allamanda schottii Pohl
Hopefully someone throws light on whether Allamanda schottii Pohl has variations found in flowers depending on garden hybrids / cultivated varieties.

I am confused whether it is Allamanda neriifolia or Allamanda cathartica?


This is Allamanda neriifolia without doubt. Does it has variegation on its leaves?


Yes …, it has variegated leaves.
Another confusion is, on the FoI, it is mentioned that Allamanda cathartica can be pruned to a shrub. In this case, how do you distinguish between A. neriifolia and A. cathartica?

It is quite confusing despite the difference as per Lucid Central and at Allamanda schottii
What is the clear cut difference between Allamanda schottii & Allamanda cathartica?
