A reply: "Dear Mr. Garg, Thank you for having dug out old post in response to a plant that I had posted a few weeks back. It is certain that the plant posted by you is same as mine. It differs from B. tomentosa in 1. Leaves larger and not tomentose/coriaceous 2. Leaves with a odour of curry leaves 3. Flowers pale yellow 4. Purple blotch missing from the upper petal
This seems to be a horticultural variety of B. tomentosa or something else.
