Gurucharan ji, In my school going age local gardener also revealed me the name "Cheeni Gulab" for the same flower. But as a botanist I came to know the "Cheeni Gulab" is not the "China Rose". "Cheeni Gula" is eleven-o'clock, Mexican-rose, moss-rose, rose-moss and "China Rose" is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. Here also laymen call Portulaca grandiflora as "Cheeni Gulab" in hindi and "China Rose" in English * * On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 1:43 PM, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> wrote:
