I think more closer to images at\u00a0Mansoa alliacea<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks for the lead …
\nBut the description of Cydista aequinoctialis<\/em> as per Flora of Micronesia, 5 :-
\nExtensive vine, lacking garlic odor, leaflets large, ovate, tendril simple often much exceeding leaflets; inflorescence a twice or more trichotomous terminal panicle; flowers funnelform,\u00a0throat yellow within, brownish outside, lobes lavender or pink or whitish with purple markings; fruit a large stiff brown dehiscent strap-shaped pod; seed body small, wings extending several times its width.
\nIn this case tendrils are trifid. Moreover ‘throat yellow within, brownish outside’ doesn’t match. Inflorescence ‘twice or more trichotomous’ is also not matching.<\/span> Not sure if these can be local variations.
\nCan’t be\u00a0Mansoa alliacea<\/em> as it lacks garlic odour.<\/span> Infact I have both these climbers in my backyard so it’s easy to compare.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

In that case,\u00a0Cydista aequinoctialis<\/em> is more likely. Both are quite confused.<\/p>\n

Native to Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
