My wife's hobby is gardening. We have a balcony garden with more than 30 plants, most of them flowering ones. One of the recent additions was Cestrum nocturnum, which in Marathi is called Ratrani (रातराणी). It has extremely fragrant flowers which bloom at night. When our plant bloomed, I could get a closer look at the tiny flowers, which is not possible in gardens, because they cannot not be seen in the dark. Ours was unique. Most dicotyledonous plants have five petals, monocotyledonous ones have three. Our plant had some flowers with five petals and some with four. It is not known to happen in nature. I searched Google images, and all Cestrum nocturnum flower images had five petals. Try it. For those who want to look at our flowers, here are two images. The first one shows flowers with five petals, and the second one shows flowers with four petals.
They are seen clearly enough. I have not put any arrows to mark them. Do write to me if you think they should be pointed out with arrows.
