I shall attach the closeup of calyx. But it is not fragrant.<\/p>\n

Thank you Sir. Is this considered a native species? The Wikipedia page on the species as well as the list of alien species in India according to A. Khuroo et al (Alien flora of India: taxonomic composition, invasion status and biogeographic affiliations<\/i>)\u00a0says that it is a native of the Caribbean while the <\/span>flowersofindia.net<\/span><\/a> page labels it a native of India.<\/span><\/p>\n
