I think Hedyotis scandens Roxb. (Rubiaceae)

---

The photos are really nice, but why the basic information regarding the primary observation regarding plant characters are lacking?!
I wish every post for identificaton should be with these basic observations.

This is Hedyotis scandens [Rubiaceae]

Rubiaceae….?

1. opposite phyllotaxy, with intra petiolar stipules; 4- and 5-merous flowers on the same plant, gamopetalous corolla, hairs on the mouth of corolla tube, bifid stigma,-made me to guess(conclude) the plant belongs to Rubiaceae.
