If this plant id Cordia sinensis, then what is this?? http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/image-display.php?species_id=148260&image_id=2
http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/image-display.php?species_id=148260&image_id=1 Surely the two are different In Cordia sinensis (syn: C. gharaf Forssk; C. rothii Roem. & sch.), corolla lobes are much narrower, 4 in number and reflexed. The above plant seems to have 5, much broader corolla lobes which are spreading. lso flower are too large for cordia. http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=91875&flora_id=5 -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
