Please provide id clues for this climbing herb, growing upon roadside shrubs and trees..
Is this Dolichos sp. ? Calyx and corolla with its segments form very much like that of Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet, earlier Dolichos lablab L. Please note, leaves seen in the attached pics are much smaller than Lablab Dolichos species so far in efi These pictures taken minutes ago, tried the angles you have used in your photography. My species is Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet. I think your species is also same. Your specimen may be wildly growing, it may be an escape or a wild variety. Thanks …, Yes, this was an escape, and I agree with your id conclusion !!
