Yes …, it is Tarenna asiatica. Tarenna asiatica indeed Looks more like Ixora leucantha which is found in such dry areas and low elevation scrub forests. Tarrena asiatica is a high elevation plant of the evergreen forests. It is Tarenna asiatica only. Ixora leucantha is a very different plant Thank you very much for the identification of this shrub. I would be happier if any one could post a picture of Ixora leucantha plant for comparison.T. asiatica is also found in regions closer to coastal areas like Chennai. You might be referring to a different variety of this T.asiatica. Thats an interesting bit of information. I didnt know you get it at sea level as well. Never the less, sending Muthu a picture of what I think is Ixora leucantha. Here is the picture of what I have identified as Ixora leucantha. Looks very similar to the plant posted here. Gamble’s flora and a few other sources report Tarenna asiatica to be the plant of the Shola forests. This is why I feel the plant posted here and also the one around chennai is unlikely to be Tarenna asiatica. Attachments (1) The flowers in your picture look unmistakably like those of Tarenna asiatica in this picture http://www.biotik.org/india/species/t/tareasia/tareasia_17_en.html All of you were right all along. The plant posted by … and me is Tarenna asiatica. I got misled by the fact that its only known to occur along margins of shola forest. However its not true, its very common in dry forests of low elevations as well. The shola forest one is a different variety though. Sorry for that The plant posted by you might be a variety called Tarenna asiatica (L.) Kuntze ex K. Schum. var. montana (Thw.) Raju
Found only in Evergreen forests of high altitudes.
Also this might be possible: Tarenna asiatica (L.) Kuntze ex K. Schum. var. asiatica forma rigida (Wight) Raju No the one posted by me is not from the montane forests but from Banergatta National Park. Its Tarenna asiatica proper. T.asiatica var montana seems to have larger flowers Hmmmmm….Bennargatta NP. Surely it is T.asiatica only… it may extant up to 1300m altitude mostly in gaps and edges.
