thanks amit since you are our resident expert in aromas I take your advice seriously... but I find thai english writing a bit difficult to comprehend sometimes I had seen and downloaded this paper before i id-ed my own plant a couple of years ago... AND... their pic clearly shows the longer pedicle for the flower in elegans... by the water stream... which pulchra does not have.... i'll see if can find this same plant of surajit at the hort and take a pic of the fresh flower..in early morning.. the central cross star and very small pedicle is some of the key...
