no flower no fruit only leaves from Alipore 30-05-12 SK1: I admit that i was drawn to the butterfly only and didn't notice this plant attentively. Cannot tell you how big it was, maybe about 5 feet, likely to be a shrub. But finally, neither could i get a good photograph of the butterfly nor did get the plant as well. Could it be Duranta sp.? Species : UNKNOWN Habit & Habitat : garden plant Date : 25-05-12, 12.45 p.m. Place : The Agri-Hort. Soc. of India, Alipore (KOLKATA) could be, but whatever it is ...its markedly diseased. the leaves seem to be haphazardly deformed, i see leaf-borer in one and something causing the distortions ...malnutrition or infections... I failed to apprehend that the plant could be sick. But, where is the borer, first pic? yes, the second leaf from rt looks like an upward facing spoon.. look at the thread like something? I think you are right. It does appear to be Duranta erecta. Duranta erecta is mostly grown as a garden plant not for its flowers but for nice glossy green foliage. It is often pruned to a reasonable height and is not allowed to grow freely to produce flowers which are aften seen only in large and tall plants. Hope I have shared something out of my common sense assumptions. Incidently as everyone knows apart from good nice bright green foliage it also produces colourful flowers and equally colourful fruits too. All of different colours. Yes it looks like Duranta erecta There are a few Duranta erecta shrubs at Kamarkundu Railway Station (Hooghly), where i board train daily. My assumption was based on my earlier post. Thank you very much for confirming, one more vote for Duranta erecta. My earlier upload of this species.
I have attached three crops of the flowers, leaves and fruits of a plant. Please let me know which flower it could be. The following information is available. Date/Time- 2012-06-16 / 10:00hrs Location- Bhaje Village near Lonavala in Pune District of Maharashtra Habitat- Wild Plant Habit- Seemed like a large Shrub Height - Around 2 metres Leaves - Small, around 2-3 cm Flowers - Small, light purple in colour (Pic attached) Fruits - Small, round, orange coloured fruits (Pic attached) There were fruits on some of the branches while flowers were still visible on most others. Another important thing is that this plant was growing on the slopes of the Sahyadris which is what the Western Ghats are called in Maharashtra.
This species is present as promising remedy for Dyspnoea in my database. It is important ingredient of Indo-Caribbean Herbal Formulations. (Transcultural Pharmacy) Now called as Duranta erecta.

The light blue colour of Duranta erecta does not show whitish edge distinctly. I have summarized my observations below. May be you can contribute to it more.

great. nice table. makes sense now. do you by any chance have the full drape/ raceme in drooping posture picture? I hope following photo will serve your purpose. You can notice three racemes. 1 image. 1 iwell, may be i am splitting hair, but these racemes are not drooping, rather growing towards the Zenith. does that matter ?? I also agree with ... for Duranta erecta cultivar as per the following: Does not match with images at Asystasia gangetica subsp. micrantha or Asystasia gangetica
