    Thanks for your efforts to make these important materials available. But are you sure that the last four pictures with the red-brown flowers are not of Sauropus androgynus? See http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Sweet%20Leaf%20Bush.html The Sri Lankan Sauropus quadrangularis resembles the plant shown on pictures 3 and 4. I am not sure what species is shown on pictures 1, 2 and 5. The flowers with the pointed petals and long flower stems are quite different than what is said to be S. quadrangularis in Sri Lanka (see https://biodiversityofsrilanka.blogspot.com/2017/03/ginihiriya-sauropus-quadrangularis.html?m=1), and which I also photographed. Best, Peter Prins
