May be you are right, Pentatropis sp.,
Pentatropis spiralis
It should be of Pentatropis nivalis (as per images, details and references herein) rather than Pentatropis spiralis (earlier wrongly identified in Flora of Pakistan, but now no distribution in India as per WCSP, POWO and PROTA (syn: Pentatropis spiralis auct.) as per details and references herein.

Thanks … for giving a lead…. it is Pentatropis spiralis.
It should be of Pentatropis nivalis (as per images, details and references herein) rather than Pentatropis spiralis (earlier wrongly identified in Flora of Pakistan, but now no distribution in India as per WCSP, POWO and PROTA (syn: Pentatropis spiralis auct.) as per details and references herein.

Pl id this one,
Is it a Tylophora spp. Alibag It is a Tylophora, but is it T. ovata?
It is Pentatropis nevalis.
Just to remind you – Dr.Almeida had identified these earlier photographs of yours as Pentatropis nevalis. Pictures look similar to the images at Pentatropis capensis (L. f.) Bullock . Pl. confirm.
I could not find any keys between these two species on net. If any one has them, pl. post so that proper Id can be done.
On further search, PROTA says:
“Pentatropis comprises three species: Pentatropis bentii (N.E.Br.) Liede from Somalia and southern peninsular Arabia, Pentatropis capensis (L.f.) Bullock from India and Sri Lanka and Pentatropis nivalis, which is now considered widespread from Africa to India, after a revision in which many species were put into synonymy. The last two species are closely related and it is well possible that they belong to the same species. Pentatropis is closely related to Tylophora and Pleurostelma. “
Flora of Pakistan does not mention Pentatropis nivalis, but gives only two other species with keys as below:
Pentatropis spiralis (Forssk.) Decne. is a synonym of Blyttia spiralis (Forssk.) D.V.Field & J.R.I.Wood as per The Plant List Ver. 1.1
There are no other posting of Pentatropis nivalis on efi.
I am not sure of this id since I haven’t come across in India, but I will post Pentatropis nivalis from Oman in another post. Thanks, …, Here is the link to your post on Pentatropis nivalis
Pictures posted by … from Oman at Pentatropis nivalis look much different from these.
Pl. confirm the posted plant as Pentatropis capensis.

…, any quick and specific aspect that points to nivalis separating from capensis ?
I ask because there are leaves alone in the posted pictures. This is mangrove habitat. The leaves may grow thick as it matures.
I went through both pages in eFI.
Pl. see images just posted by …, in which I have marked you in cc.
Corolla is much shorter in P. capensis and the corona shape and colour is much different.
…, but in this post, there are no flowers, just long shots of the plant. Here I am going by other observations in your area as well as little difference in the leaf shape and apex, along with distribution given in Flora of Peninsular India:
