Ixora casei can be differentiated from I. coccinea by the longer flowers, a more intense color, and longer, darker leaves with an acute base. The leaves are generally pointed rather than somewhat rounded on the I.coccinea. A native of Micronesia, this is a very showy shrub, among the largest of the ornamental Ixoras. Easy to care for, as long as it is kept watered, perpetual blooms and a strong, glossy foliage.
