Dinesh ji And now the interesting coincidence. A few feet away from this plant was growing Cuphea hyssopifolia, which I could identify easily. Not in my wildest dreams could I thinkt that it could belong to the same genus.

For want of time, I put only the botanical name in my message earlier. Let me append to it ... I had seen this plant in Mahabaleshwar ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/2195761806/ ... and had mistaken it for Woodfordia fruticosa !!!! ... ... one of my flickr contact (Tony Rodd) as well as Tabish corrected the ID.

It was apparantly cultivated outside a hotel.
