Dear members, Mandevilla splendens at FOI <http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Mandevilla.html> seems confusing. There is no other Mandevilla species at FOI. I could not find any proper link for 'Mandevilla splendens + India' search.
As per efi Mandevilla <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/apocynaceae/mandevilla> page only details of *Mandevilla laxa &* *Mandevilla sanderi* <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/apocynaceae/mandevilla/mandevilla-sanderi> are available. As per efi page details of Dipladenia × amabilis <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/apocynaceae/dipladenia/dipladenia-amabilis> (syn. *Mandevilla* *×* *amabilis* (Backh.) Dress <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-119210>) are available. Dave's Garden <http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1711/> gives *Mandevilla splendens *with *Mandevilla sanderi* <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/apocynaceae/mandevilla/mandevilla-sanderi> as a syn. Flkoridata <http://www.floridata.com/ref/M/mandev.cfm> says: "This plant was formerly known as *Dipladenia splendens* and it is sometimes sold under that name. This name is now considered a synonym <http://www.floridata.com/tracks/misc/plant_names.cfm> and is no longer correct. A popular hybrid often offered by retailers is *Mandevilla* x *amoena* 'Alice du Pont'. ....." Thus I doubt the identity of Mandevilla splendens at FOI <http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Mandevilla.html> -- With regards, J.M.Garg 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1> The whole world uses my Image Resource <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg> of more than a thousand species & eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically & place-wise).
