As per Factsheet<\/a>:<\/div>\n
C. fasciculatum<\/i> and C. elegans<\/i> are similar in appearance, the usual difference being cited as C. fasciculatum<\/i> having larger flowers.<\/span> C. elegans<\/i> also tends to have flowers which are in the “pink” range <\/span>while C. fasciculatum<\/i> flowers are usually described as being scarlet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The outer surface of\u00a0 the calyx and corolla\u00a0is also cited as being pubescent in C. fasciculatum<\/i> <\/span>but glabrous in C. elegans<\/i>.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
However C. fasciculatum<\/i> cultivar “Newellii” (also\u00a0as C. Newellii<\/i>) is considered to be a hybrid between\u00a0C. fasciculatum<\/i> and C. elegans,<\/i> most horticultural sources citing it as\u00a0having glabrous corollas;\u00a0true distinctions are unclear.

I also thought Cestrum<\/i>, but C. elegans<\/i> because corolla and calyx are distinctly pubescent in C. fasciculatum<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Here is C. elegans<\/i> from San Francisco Botanical Garden, California, clicked June 2, 2019<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You have revised Cestrum Species recently. This is an old picture taken in Kodaikanal.<\/span><\/div>\n
Could you kindly validate the Species for me?<\/div>\n
Would this be Cestrum elegans<\/i> as well?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

For me yes. C.elegans.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>This was seen<\/span> in Kandy, Sri Lanka during a visit in 2010.
\n<\/span>Could you kindly validate this as well?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Most probably it is C.elegans. <\/i>Suggested ID, not a confirmed one.<\/p>\n

Unable to send any message in reply to your posting at :\u00a0 Cestrum Species for ID : Kodaikanal : 08DEC19 : AK-2.\u00a0 Hence I am posting here. The pink coloured one from Kodai is C.elegans<\/i> var. smithii<\/i>.\u00a0There are many varieties of Cestrum<\/i> of different hues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks, …, for validation. To me also appears to be Cestrum elegans<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>as per difference in <\/span>Factsheet1<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span> Factsheet2<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Another old picture taken <\/span>in Kodaikanal.
\n<\/span>The flowers here were lighter in color.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I think this is Cestrum elegans<\/i> var. smithii<\/i> that you have suggested in the other post from Kandy.<\/p>\n
