Possibly it could be Cat’s Claw, Dolichandra unguis-cati.

Looking at the calyx tube, it could be a species of Thunbergia.  Not sure.

Thunbergia species in eFIoraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) 

Calyx looks like that of Bignoniaceae; very similar to http://www.tramil.net/fototeca/images/Macfadyenayunguis_catiRGftk.jpg hosted at http://www.tramil.net/fototeca/imageDisplay.php?id_elem=422.

But in that case it should not be wild in our country.

I have seen the plant reported at the website by … It does not tally. I have seen the plant Macfadyenay unguiscatii here. The leaves are quite different. The leaves have tendrils like a hook. In the plant reported by  Muthuji  the leaves are quite different.  We need to explore further. … may help in getting the photograph of the flower, if he can !

Not only that, Sir, but also we will have to take account of leaf character … reported, i.e. alternate leaves.

But is it so?
Please check modified 2x size image attached herewith.

Is it Dolichandra unguis cati?
Images are from Pune Maharashtra India.
This huge climber growing on the tree and walls near British council Library Pune on Fergusson road. The leaves have two leaflets it seems. Firmly fixing to the host tree.
My take is Bignoniaceae.
Obviously looks like introduced one probably by Britishers….

To add Clicked in Feb 2015

Your suggested id seems correct to me.

Looks different. Nevertheless pl check the leaves for a pair of claw like structure for it’s ID. I could not spot it.

i agree with … the cats claw is very distinct. see it on this picture. once you see it, it remains in the memory bank for ever

Thanks, …
But it is very difficult to see close up details in these.
May I request you to pl. post original image of 5042s to check the details.

I find possibility of Dolichandra unguis-cati

Checked with … It is Dolichanda unguis cati

Images are not clear but looks close.
