Place, Altitude, GPS- Anaikatti, Coimbatore Dist. Habitat- Urban Type-Plant Habit- Climber Flowers Size/ Colour- pink. Yes Antigonon leptopus from Polygonaceae Difficult to have local names as it is an introduced ornamental, unless some one has coined some local name. Sonchampa, Pivla champa, Kud champa in marathi Thank you … for trying to help with the Marathi name but I think these names are of Chapha flowers Michelia champaca of Magnoliaceae Yes I don’t think the names suggested by … should fit this plant
Son champa is Mar. name for Michelia acuminata
Pivala champa and kud champa are Mar. name for Michelia champaca, also pilo champo and rae champo in Guj. … is absolutely right….
Champa is a name reserved for usually fragrant flowers in any Indian vernacular… Where as, this (Antigonon) is 1cm or less small NON_FRAGRANT flower… on a vine… its called coral vine in English… native of mexico was brought in to India / Bengal during the same time as when the original botanical garden was started in Calcutta… via Bermuda and /or Jamaica… where its tea is drunk as original NSAID . and underground tubers were eaten in times of famine…
I have not found a traditional name here, although I must say we in Bengal are very fond and efficient at adapting a plant/ flower we like and giving it romantic name/s… such as Krishnachura for another import of recent century… Delonix regia..

Antigonon leptopus from Jaipur:
Antigonon leptopus from a private garden @ Jaipur. Dated- 07.11.11 Common name-Coral Vine , Family- Polygonaceae am so glad to see it thriving… The climber grows wild in Chennai in pink / white coloured flowers. I have tried this to grow from stem cuttings and tubersin my college, can anybody give idea how to propagate this vine … by seeds is the best way.. I wonder if anybody has tested soil for such factors after a forest fire where antigonon grows ?? … forgot to tell you I had saved one tuber and planted it…next spring..but did not grow…
my garden club friends had thought that perhaps it was not old / large enough…with only one growing season, that too growing in balcony in a pot may not have stored enough energy to re-sprout…

very nice. most of these in kolkata gardens died of some virus spreading. we do find them in remote villages and one in by the dhakuria lakes in a private garden. they used to be everywhere 2 or decades ago. my question
did you see any seed pods? any seeds you could collect? I frequently see this particular specimen every week on my way home every weekend. I did not verify about fruiting. Now that you have asked I will try to get down and observe. Will update you. in west bengal villages where i has seen some sprawling on the grounds making small mounds. i had been warned not to disturb them since SNAKES are known to hide there. so be careful. distrub themn not and carry a stick to look or better still donrt do it at all.
its not that important. i mean it. Be well. I look for seeds on these only when they are on the wall or hedges now a days. again be careful Thanks … for your concern and info as well. As you said this particular creeper was sprawling and spreading, visited by a lot of honey bees even at noon. I will be careful henceforth.

Antigonon leptopus white .
Thanks …, a lot, didn’t know. Illustrations/images are easier to understand though! Recently recorded one! My post on Symbiosis is of Antigonon leptopus. As per Flora of Guatemala, the outer sepals of Antigonon guatimalense Meisn. should be broadly ovate and not cordate at the base. Further the leaf base should be abruptly decurrent at the base upon the petiole. The type specimen of A. guatimalense Meisn. can be seen here (http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K000585039) for confirmation. Hence to me the posted picture appears as Antigonon leptopus Hook. & Arn. only. Experts may comment. Thanks, …, Is Antigonon guatimalense cultivated or found in wild in India ? I am still searching for an authentic herbarium sheet/reference that could tell about the existence of A. guatimalense in India.
These books mention the presence of A. insigne in India but without any information of voucher specimens.
