Combretum indicum seen in Kenya during a visit in Jan,2009.
Note the pure white flowers.

The plant you have uploaded cannot be Combretum indicum because this plant has always  either pink flowers or white and pink mixed but the plant you are showing has only white lowers with different morphological features so the plant can be Quisqualis indica


But isn’t Quisqualis indica a Syn of Combretum indicum?

It is not a climber, instead sits nicely in a pot as a small bush with smaller leaves.

Flower ID Request 20120610: I clicked this pic of the flower of a plant in Andheri East in Mumbai. I have attached the crops for the flower and the leaves of the plant. The plant had grown above 2 metres in height. Some flowers could be seen in a bunch while some flowers were growing individually like this one in the pic. Please let me know what flower it could be.


Most probably this is rangoon creeper, Quisqualis indica from Combretaceae..


Agree with … Quisqualis indica
So many car names in it


yes quisqualis indica
when you look at your bunch flower pictures you’ll most likely see several shades of pink, whitish pink and red… ie different ages of the flowers…
There is dwarf variey out too…how large are these leaves and the flower across the petals…


I have attached another crop of the bunch of flowers that you mentioned, and I think one can see different shades…

This is purely white Quisqualis, in the wild, might be Quisqualis indica L.
Bigger, cordate leaves are of Dregea volubilis (L. f.) Bentham ex J. D. Hooker

Yes … Very good photographs.


… what are the Indian common names for this plant Quisqualis indica. I am very much interested as this is a
larval food plant of Slate and Indigo Flash butterflies


Hindi: Rangoon ki bel

Guj: Barmasi vel
Tel: Ettaguttilativva, rangonimalle, tige-ganneru
Tam: Irangunmalle. ilengaramalligai
Bombay: marmasi, lalachameli, rangunachavel

मधु मालती in Marathi.


Very pleasant surprise to meet you here, remembering those facebook butterfly days 🙂
Many thanks to … for the regional names. Else i would have taken help of FoI – http://www.flowersofindia.RangoonCreeper.
It is very interesting that neither “Bengal Plants” nor “Flora Indica” provides any regional name for this plant. Roxburgh writes, “A native of Amboyna where it grows to be a large scandent shrub…..”
However, A college-text-book mentions it as BRAHMOLATA in Bengali, though we call it MADHABI-LATA. Other names found in the very same book are –
  • Eng. – Rangoon creeper
  • H & P – Lal-malti
  • Assam – Madhabilata
  • Odisha – Modhumalati
  • G – Barma sinivel
  • Mumbai – Vilayati chambeli
  • Mar. – Lal chameli
  • T. – Rangoon malli
  • Te, – Rangonimalle
  • Bur. (Burma) – Dawchmaing

Thank you … and all eflora friends
native names to latin names is a rising issue and its awareness is on increase among non-botanical ppl like me. The knowledge of co-relation of flora and fauna and its importance is the need of this hour. As the
success and sustainability of conservation depends on root level, the knowledge should be made available in regional languages. The first step I think begins with native names….. I am hopeful of this eflora
group that the botany pundits will definitely provide us with the info in native tongue as and when required….. Thnx to all.


always provides us regional names of plants. Members can search the group site /home, by entering botanical names.


In Malayalam it is known as ‘Ice cream chedi’
We occasionally found white and coloured flowers together in same inflorescene. The newly opened flowers always white and gradually turned into reddish-pink. As its generic epithet indicates, it is quite ‘confusing’. 

Very interesting name Sir, sounds as sweet as the flowers!
