Thanks, Mangala ji & Dungriyal ji. On searching net, *Badek vel* came for *Aristolochia ringens* as per links: http://www.gardentia.net/aristoloch_001.htm, http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Aristolochiaringens (Posted plant appears to be different from these). Also posted plant appears to be different from* Aristolochia roxburghiana*as per link: http://toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/Aristolochia_tagala.htm After going through, Shrikant ji's book it appears to be closer to *Aristolochia indica* as far as leaf shape & flower shape is concerned. >From Indiantreepix Database: *Aristolochia indica* *Aristolochiaceae* *Sapsan, Badakphull (Duck flower), Ishwar mool * Aristolochia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristolochia> Aristolochia - indiantreepix | Google Groups<http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/b696176f2e838e24> Aristolochia indica, fever<http://www.herbsnspicesinfo.com/medicinal-herbs/aristolochia-indica.aspx> Aristolochia, I.C.A.
