Excerpts from FoI: "There has been lot of confusion on why the species name is *fragrans*. Dr. Roxburgh, who gave the name to this flower, says in his book, *Plants of the Coast of Coromandel*: "*the plant possesses a peculiar and agreeable fragrance, and the beauty of its flowers, although not fragrant, entitle it to a place in the flower-garden* So, the *plant* possesses a fragrance, but not the *flowers*."
