Hi Dinesh ji... It can certainly be Allamanda blanchetii.... To be frank, I have limited knowledge about the scientific names of plants, and i have just started to know about various species from this eflora group.
I have learnt the name 'Allamanda cathartica' few days back from wikipedia. So i thought perhaps this one is a variety of the same species. I should not have mentioned the improper name without being sure.... If Gurcharan Sir and you think its a separate species (A. blanchetii)....then that identification is definitely correct. regards Shantanu : ) On Sep 10, 10:09 am, Dinesh Valke <dinesh.va...@gmail.com> wrote: > Shantanu ji, please comment whether this plant is indeed *A. cathartica*. > Me too just as Gurcharan ji, believe this plant to be the violet allamanda, > *A. blanchetii* (syn: *A. violacea*). > > Not sure if the horticulturists have now brought up *A. > cathartica*mimicking colour of > *A. blanchetii* > > Regards. > > > > On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 8:10 AM, mani nair <mani.na...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Shantanu ji, nice photo. > > Mani. > > > On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 2:12 AM, Gurcharan Singh <singh...@gmail.com>wrote: > > >> Same A. blanchetii (syn: A. violacea), I thought. > > >> On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 1:20 PM, tanay bose <tanaybos...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >>> Splendid > >>> Tanay > > >>> On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 1:46 AM, Shantanu Bhattacharya < > >>> shnt...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >>>> Hi > > >>>> sharing few snaps of the pink variety of Allamanda cathartica ....taken > >>>> in my locality last Sunday. > > >>>> These showy flowers really add beauty to the garden and house. > > >>>> regards > > >>>> Shantanu : ) > > >>>> Shantanu Bhattacharya. > > >>>> B.Sc (Zoology).M.Sc (University of Calcutta) > > >>>> Teaching Faculty. > > >>>> Dept. of Biology. > > >>>> Vivekananda Mission School (ICSE). > > >>>> Joka.
