Dinesh ji I had almost decided upon O. corymbosa, what has been worrying me right from the beginning is the nature of calyx. Four calyx lobes (or sepals) seem to be arising from what does not look like calyx tube, but rather almost of same colour (slightly lighter) as colour. Frankly I have never seen this before, and not able to comprehend.
