surajit and everybody: pure science should not be based on any political theory...
it either is or isn't ... true species/tumor/cancer/animal/ mineral etc etc or countless variants and cultivars in botany...... I agree botany is one natural science where there is a large element of art ... but still... to me this is strange/different... does not quite make it to m. malabathricum cant say where to classify it without more detailed pictures which Siva does not have... I used to have several of these in my garden over the years, purchased from street vendors, hort, and many reputed nurseries owned by botany trained folks... here in this picture: both leaves variance over wide range in size and flowers shape are not quite the thing I dont think this case can be put to rest or finalized as is. Sorry.
