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.

Yes, possible as per GBIF– specimen and identify.plantnet

One of my earlier posts.

It was identified as Ipomoea hildebrandtii on iNaturalist today.

I thought I should let you all know.
