Saroj ji's upload from Kalimpong - https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/Qu7AqOcoHuk/m/iT4YyczCAQAJ is either *L. rubra* Bl. Ex Spreng or *L. guineensis* G. Don. Unfortunately, the paper I am following doesn't provide description of both species. And* I have no clear idea how to differentiate them* without 'KEY-III" and stipule picture. Yet, *I agree with the established id, as L. guineensis G. Don, *because -
1. inside of petal is creamy-yellow 2. long acuminate tips of the leaflets and nerves 3. apparently longer staminodial tube Thank you.
