Abelia triflora

Post by M Farooq »

Abelia triflora is medium sized shrub with white fragrant flowers which look like an identical white analogue of the Night Queen (Cestrum nocturnum). However the families are different. Abelia triflora grows naturally in the Himalayan region.

More local information will be added when available.

Corrected. According to the "Flora of Pakistan" book, there is only one species of Abelia growing in Pakistan in the mountainous regions. Web search of Abelia triflora shows slightly different colour variation and flower shape, but authentic pictures of Abelia triflora look identical to this plant.
