Grargji  this is Catesbaea spinosa of Rubiaceae ....

but as usual incomplete  case ???thorns??? most  likely large ones
any fruits??? may be green turning yellow, oval....    entire plant
pictures??

after the wonderment at this almost square like flower  (Christs' cross was
my first impression when i saw it first twenty years ago or so)  wears off
the thorns'  presence is second wonder... why would a lowly plant like this
have such large thorns??/

when there is something exotic like this... stay a moment and take in the
whole plant....if one loves botany...Thats what Mark Catesby did in Nassau
who discovered this plant  ...  the plant gets it name after him...and
generations of gardeners perfected the system in England with painstaking
details to produce the flowers that were painted and that's what we find in
world literature... that kind of ove for botany. never ceases to amaze me
and make me feel grateful to the creator and the men and women who
discovered these  in centuries past...  Gardeners in England who with
great eye at details nurtured it/them  so we can see and have them now
across the seas and centuries.

being at Lalbagh i wonder if TIpu Sultan had it brought over since he was
known to have brought  in many many plants and trees saplings from  all the
well known botanical gardens of the world.
