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]

I guess the new name is Dimetia scandens (Roxb.) R.J.Wang !
Quite different!, could it be Oldenlandia lancifolia There is no doubt about its ID as Hedyotis scandens Roxb.
Only I wanted to bring to the group members that I have noticed new name for it in the POWO and the CofL.
