This is the concluding part of my study. I think Saroj ji's *Leea* from Singapore is *Leea rubra* Bl.ex Spreng. Its petals are red inside <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/FbwFtP2rWw4/m/0-Bju8fMBAAJ> as in Singapore Govt. Agency site - https://www.nparks.gov.sg/florafaunaweb/flora/2/1/2192
As for all red coloured cultivated / ornamental *Leaa*, I would go for *Leea guineensis* G. Don, for they all feature petals creamy-white inside. And leaves are quite different - wavy, shiny, cuneate at base .... as in Singapore Govt. Agency site - https://www.nparks.gov.sg/florafaunaweb/flora/4/3/4371. All other sites might have mixed up *L. rubra* and *L. guineensis*. It is expected that flowers of *L. guineensis* would be "creamish yellow" when open, because the "paper", while describing *Leea setuligera* Clarke, notes. "very similar to *L. guineensis* in general appearance, and possibly frequently overlooked and confused with that species. ......" Thank you.
