Rubiaceae Week:: Ixora Sp. for ID from Mullem WLS, Goa: Seen this Climbing Shrub at Mullem WLS, Goa. Leaves opposite with very short petioles.
Bot. name: Ixora Sp. (ID requested).?
Family: Rubiaceae
Date/Time: 23-04-2011 / 12:15PM
Location: Mullem WLS, Goa.
Habitat: Wild

... again, possibly Ixora nigricans ... please check whether this plant is similar to one you found in Chandoli WLS in all aspects.
For me it appears to be Ixora nigricans Br. (Rubiaceae). It is not a climber rather a shrub some times slender

Rubiaceae Week:: Ixora sp.2 for ID at Chandoli WLS: Here is one more Ixora sp. from Chandoli WLS.
Family: Rubiaceae
Date/Time: 23-01-2010 / 13:00Hrs
Location: Chandoli WLS, Maharashtra
Habitat: Wild
Plant Habit: Shrub.

this plant is similar to the one earlier posted Chandoli WLS plant - probable ID, Ixora nigricans.
In case of Ixora ID one must give colour of dried leaves and the length of corolla.

ANAPR24 Ixora nigricans R. Br. ex Wight & Arn. : 6 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (11)
Family: Rubiaceae

Place: Agumbe, Karnataka

Habit: Tree
Appreciable shots. I collected it from Goa.
Can I have any information by which the ID is likely?
I can only think about 2 features here
The stamens of older flowers are black and the overall dried flowers also look black
(Sorry I didn't get time to check in the flora about the key)​
Well, sir, from my side, it was more of a process of elimination of species rather than narrowing down to this particular one. Please see these: 1 and 2. I knew it could not be Ixora polyantha or the other associated species- Ixora leucantha because they are much larger flowers as I have observed.
And of the remaining species, I ruled out Ixora arborea because I have seen it before. Lastly, calyx glabrous narrowed it down to Ixora nigricans. I matched it with ... earlier photos from Belgaum and later it was confirmed by him and ...
