Frederick, I need English word for 'Shabduli', a little flower which
blossoms generally in monsoon evenings and wilts by morning. It has
mild fragrance and either deep or light pink petals with lightest
yellow stem. The plant is no more than 2 feet high. I have not seen it
in the last many many years in this conctrete jungle called Goa. Can
you help me?

I believe those flowers are known as "Four O'Clocks".

Here is a link to it.
