Thanks Tabish ji You are right. Happy that identity of Aarti's plant is resolved. Let us now devote some attention to Delhi Campsis now posted today by me, posted by Balkar ji (as C. grandiflora???? and identified by us as C. radicans) and also on FOI as C. radicans:

In C. radicans which I uploaded from Kashmir, the corolla tube is much longer (6-8 cm long), corolla limb narrower (scarcely more than 3.5 cm across), calyx tube tube parted less than 1/3, and flower buds are broadest towards top with short mucro. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
