MITREPHORA KEITHII

The Mitrephora keithii Ridl. (common name: Siam Adenium; Family: Annonaceae) that I bought from Thailand previously flowered recently. In fact, I bought a few other Mitrephoras and hope the plants would do well enough to flower in due course.

My colleagues have started to marcot the plant to propagate it. The unique flowers and reddish fruits are interesting.
