I have tried to search hard in the internet and books available with me. There are lot of photographs of I. casei, but hardly any of I. fulgens. Finally I stumbled upon information that I. salicifolia is a synonym of I. fulgens, that put me to doubt, because then it meant leaves would be linear-lanceolate like salix. This photograph confirmed my doubt
