Argyreia sp
I presume Ipomoea sp
Most probably Argyreia speciosa. Pictures relating to habit, close up of the flower(s) and the leaf surface would help proper identification. This is a species of Argyria and most probably Argyria nervosa How about Argryeia sericea ? Indeed seems to be A.sericea. More images of leaves, inflorescence base would be helpful. yes, it should be a Argyreia sp. Argyreia nervosa (Burm.f.) Bojer.
