>From this new picture, I think it should be Ipomoea obscura. Ipomoea obscura has creamish flowers with brownish purple visible in the throat. The brownish color at the base of the tube in your picture, should be just this feature. Also there is a huge difference between the size of the two species under discussion. While Ipomoe obscura flowers are small, about an inch (2.5 cm) across, the flowers of Rivea hypocrateriformis are 4-5 cm across, with a prominently long tube 7-8 cm. Since it is a creeper, what other leaves might be visible in the picture, one can't say. However, in the new picture I can see some typical Ipomoea obscura leaves, wth deeply heart-shaped base and nerves radiating out from the base. Best wishes - Tabish
