After having found this typical specimen of Campsis radicans from Kashmir with distinct flowers having longer corolla tube (6-8 cm long), calyx tube with much shorter teeth, corolla tube at least three times longer than calyx tube, corolla limb about 5 cm across, and importantly leaflets 9-11 in number, I was satisfied to identify my another Kashmir plant with broader flowers and shorter tube with C. grandiflora. I had also to rethink the identity of of our common Delhi Campsis (earlier thought to be C. radicans by me and also uploaded on FOI as C. radicans). I will give my views on these in separate posts.
