Hi gr33n, thanks once again. I do know that it's not a true rhododendron, so I suppose the common name is misleading. Just like a sea cucumber is not really a cucumber... :)

Melastoma and Rhododendron are two different genus. That's why I made a suggestion XD

Hi gr33n, yes indeed it is. If you check, I have put the scientific name down as Melastoma malabathricum. :)
