Argyreia Species seen last month (july’16). Not sure whether growing wild. Could this be Argyreia hirsuta? I think do not match with images at Argyreia hirsuta Pl. Check with comparative images at EFI site Not finding a correct match. Chances are, it can be Ipomoea kituiensis. Habit ? Thanks a lot for your efforts.
Adding two more images, hoe these help.
It was probably a woody shrub and not a climber, with thick leaves.
