Ixora coccinea (flame-of-the-woods).

Abstract

Ixora coccinea is a dense, multi-branched evergreen shrub native to India and Sri Lanka. It is found worldwide in tropical and subtropical climates and has naturalized in Puerto Rico, presumably dispersed by birds. I. coccinea has been occasionally persisting around former habitations and waste areas in Florida. There is no evidence to suggest or imply that I. coccinea is an invasive species.
