Notes:
This is a picture of a plant from India that my aunt sent me. She was wanting to find out which plant it was. She says ‘it is a small plant with green flower like ends.’

I wish I could a closeup of the plant & its side view. The “green flower” maybe enlarged floral sepals(?) I’m guessing this might be something in the Mussaenda genus. And this perhaps from the species M. philippica or its hybrid “‘Aurorae’ the white Mussaenda/Bankok Rose (?). Check it out and see if you have a match. Click on image to enlarge. Best wishes! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:White_Mussaenda_(Mussaenda_philippica_%27Aurorae%27)_1.jpg
