Vincetoxicum hirundinaria subsp. glaucum (Wall. ex Wight) H. Hara
It is a syn. of V. conescens as per http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242354439
Taking it as Vincetoxicum kenouriense (Wight) Wight, Icon. Pl. Ind. Orient., pl. 1614. 1850 (syn: Cynanchum kenouriense Wight, Contr. Bot. India 58. 1834.) as per Taxonomy of Vincetoxicum s.str.

It states “Corolla tube ca. 1 mm long, lobes oblong with obtuse apices, 3–3.5 × 1–2 mm, glabrous within or sparse caducous trichomes present”
Thanks to the authors for solving the puzzle.

This should be Vincetoxicum glaucum (Wall. ex Wight) Rech.fil. syn. Vincetoxicum hirundinaria subsp. glaucum (

I would suggest V. glaucum which has distribution in E. Himalayas, prominent venation off V. kenouriense is missing.
