Any close ups ?<\/p>\n
\n

Please find the attached. The flower under the tree. I\u00a0 will check my PC, if found will send. Now for this<\/p>\n

\n

check\u00a0Holarrhena pubescens<\/i> (Buch. – Ham.) Wall. ex G. Don<\/font><\/a> –\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n

Checked !!\u00a0 I\u00a0have\u00a0seen\u00a0lots in wild (Deciduous forest, Hill forest\u00a0but never in Lawachara forest. But it is not so\u00a0 similar with H. p.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Generally H. p.<\/i> leaves fully fallen before the flowering. But this tree appeared with old leaf\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\n

I can assure you that no other “Apocynaceae<\/i> tree” in ‘Bengal Plants’; except Aganosma marginata<\/i>\u00a0G.Don, a liana; have similar flowers. Maybe FBI has an entry and I am in no mood to check that.<\/p>\n

\n

I agree with your view and I did note that at least two of your uploads didn’t find their entries in Bengal-Plants. FBI should have an entry of your tree and I will try to find it out.<\/p>\n
