Botanical name: Luculia pinceana Family: Rubiaceae (Coffee family)
Pince's Luculia is an evergreen shrub, very similar to
Pleasant Luculia, found in the so-called Khasia hills of NE India. This plant resembles Pleasant Luculi in general habit, but has larger and more fragrant flowers. It has
smaller, narrower, more leathery leaves, with more numerous nerves. The
best
character, however, to distinguish between the two species is the presence
of a raised growth on the petals of the flowers of Pince's Luculia. It is
an evergreen shrub growing to 3-5 cm tall. It bears
large white or pinkish, fragrant flowers in large terminal domed clusters.
Flowering: June-October.
