In Bengali its called Kamini.....grows in both east and west bengal as Kamini...
In kolkata, it flowers profusely in summer, esp if it rains a little... as children we knew it would rain that day if the KAMINI would flower in early am.... filling the air with intoxicating scent... Only problem with flowers is if you pluck an individual flower... the petals fall off by the time you bring them in ... so one has to cut the twig without causing any jarring reverberations... then it survives inside the home for a day... NOT all plants develop fruits though.. in Kolkata.. my friends have a tree that gets beautiful red berries, I have two that never give any berries, though they flower profusely... and my friend's and my plants are in the same kinda micro-climate and surroundings... so the same pollinators are around ... DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHY IS THIS that some get fruits and some other not?? DOES any one know why is it ?
