Corolla 1/4-1/3 in., glabrous, rose-coloured, tube broad obtusely angled, lobes short ovate. Follicles 1 ft., flexuous, smooth, thinly coriaceous.

Pl confirm whether mily latex was there ?? and is there any foetid smell ? Flowers remembering Tylophora Genus, If you post high resolution images, maybe we are able to nail it. Vincetoxicum longifolium (Wight) Kuntze ?? Please, check probability of Gymnema inodorum – There is a negative point, though – as per Flora of China – corolla yellow. I apologize, wrong id, we have G. inodorum – https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a—l/a/apocynaceae/marsdenia/marsdenia-tingens Flower may not match ! Will try again, Sir. Meanwhile, what about this? –
I do not think it matches. Agreed, Sir ji, and I do not have an alternative! …, this upload gave me a lesson – for the past few days I thoroughly checked, multiple times, the Asclepiads of FBI !!! It’s not a member of Asclepiadaceae! It is Pottsia cantonensis Hook. & Arn., accepted name Pottsia laxiflora (Blume) Kuntze. Please check – .
