That's a difficult one Garg ji. Our images agree with the following features of Mussaenda roxburghii, filliform sepals and filliform tips of the petals. I find the sepals of Mussaenda frondosa <https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:756632-1> broader in comparison to our images. Also the buds look different from those of M. frondosa. Our buds appear to agree with the M. roxburghii images on Flora of Bhutan site https://biodiversity.bt/species/show/6298
https://biodiversity.bt/group/royal_manas_national_park/observation/show/5360 If you can point me to some features of M. roxburghii which do not agree well with our images, I will be happy.
