I always believed that the value of Howrah Botanic Garden is actually underestimated. Its a place of great resource of living as well as voucher specimens. Hope it lasts long. Thanks for sharing this pic. I thought there is only one species in lower plains of India. But if you got this from Sibpur then probably it may not be the local one.as many plants came to the garden from other parts of India and abroad. I thinkt his is Leea macrophylla. Pankaj
