A reply from another thread ( https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/StwtKYldWpY%5B1-25%5D) : "Thanks to you and Mr.Vijaysankar Raman for identifying the plant.It is Turnera aurantiaca, family Turneraceae, also called the orange Turnera.It is a native of Central America.As for Ushadi ji's question as to where the plant was found, please inform her that it is usually found in high-end nurseries and because of its beautiful orange flowers there is a great demand for it and it keeps coming off and on in such nurseries.As far as I have seen, the plant is usually seen in polybags.The height of the plant was 2 to 3 feet.I have not seen the full habit but I think it may reach a height of 2 to 3 metres when in full growth.It may also be seen in nurseries in the US and botanical gardens like the Missouri Botanical Garden. Thanking you, With warm regards S.Raghunath"
