I thought it was a cycad blue but am told this is another mystery blue. Saw it at the botanic gardens visitor centre.

You were right the first time.  It's a Cycad Blue as far as I can see.  The black spots on this species' hindwing can be variable, and in extreme cases appear as a bar instead of spots!  
 
Take a look at the 2nd and 3rd shots of the Cycad Blue (http://www.butterflycircle.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9609&) that Bobby and I encountered at MOG not too long ago.  You'd think that those two were also different species!  
 
This is one species that has high variability in its markings.

Or perhaps "V" has arrived in Singapore?  :sweat:
