How about Passiflora suberosa?

Supporting … Passiflora suberosa only

---

This is not P.foetida. I am sure. Stems are thin, wiry and woody covered with sticky yellow hairs. Leaves are quite different. They have glandular hairs on stems and stipular tendrils : http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Love%20in%20a%20Mist.html.

Regarding the photographs sent by … the photograph of the flower is not clear. However, the leaves resemble P.suberosa. Hence the species could be P.suberosa.
