Re: More plant IDs please
ASA,
The first picture is of Tabernaemontana or so-called star jasmine.
The second one is most likely Acalypha reptans. [Source flowers of India]
The last one seems to be of something related to the mint family. Are the leaves aromatic?
Regards,
Farooq

Thanks Farooq. This is very helpful. The last one as sold to me as a dwarf buddleia. I'm not sure if the leaves are fragrant. I'll check and get back.

I was surprised, the leaves when crushed are intensely aromatic like mint. It has to be something from the mint family.

Check "apple mint" on the web and compare it with your plant characteristics. It is certainly of the mint genus given that leaves are highly aromatic.aykhan wrote:Thanks Farooq. This is very helpful.
