Help with Vietnamese plant names

Post by kvan64 »

Hi, I was given some plants recently. The previous owner only knows their Vietnamese names. Please let me know their equivalent English names if you know them.
1- Mai chieu thuy
2- Mai vang
3- Mai tu qui

Thanks heaps in advance
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

Here are some pics. The mai vang tree has no foliage now so I attached someone else's pics.

My dictionary says
Mai chieu thuy- Wrightia religiosa
Mai vang- Ochna integerrima
I am not sure your pictures agree with these names.

Thank you Jerry. They are right. I searched the net with those names and found matched pics. Also found Mai Tu Qui to be the mickey mouse plant.
