Yes, Dinesh Ji, I agree, I have read about white bracts in FBI, of *coarctatum* and *rottlerianum*. FBI says "prominent white" in both. I couldn't find, in the net, the paper, 'Taxonomic notes on two...', Santhosh Ji mentioned in the thread - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/w71Qu08WXV8/kK1z788DNQwJ.
However, Wight recorded, in his Ic Pl <http://plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=130341&height=950>, bracts of *J. rottlerianum* are with "pale whitish hue". FBI has a var. of *rottlerianum*, var. *thwaitesii* from 'Nilgherries' where bracts are "whitish". I can be wrong while trying to guess and express my thoughts about the two species, *coarctatum* complex, and *mutiflorum*, my points are - - in illustration of Burm. f. of *J. multiflorum* <http://plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=167716&height=750> no bract can be seen - FoC informs bracts in *multiflorum* are leafy, basal ovate, upper linear (please also see note in FBI) - if you see the corolla tubes in your photographs you will notice tube is rather extended, inflated in the upper part, just bellow the spreading lobes, which I think are missing in *multiflorum* uploads, both in cultivated form and in wild form - I think in *multiflorum* corolla tube evenly dilated from base to lobes - if you permit me I think your https://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/12909870533/sizes/l series is *multiflorum* Thank you Regards surajit On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 4:00 PM, Dinesh Valke <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Surajit ji for dissection of the various descriptions ! > > Just for information, a descriptive name given in Tamil lexicon > <http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.1:1:6189.tamillex> > [Madras], University of Madras for *J. rottlerianum* ... synonym of *J. > coarctatum* var *coarctatum*. is *white-bracted jasmine* !
