EUCLINIA LONGIFLORA

I planted this Euclinia longiflora (synonym: Randia macrantha; common name: Angel's Trumpet, Tree Gardenia; Family: Rubiaceae) at this corner of the Irrigation Pond quite some time ago. This one is showing some magnesium (Mg) nutrient deficiency symptoms on its leaves with interveinal chlorosis but there were still a few downward hanging flowers though.

There used to be a beautiful grove of it at Adam Park Road but it is gone now. Anyway, a link on the plant is shown below:
