Makarand Ji,

Very pleasant surprise to meet you here, remembering those facebook
butterfly days :)

Many thanks to Gurcharan Sir and Satish Sir for the regional names. Else i
would have taken help of FoI -
http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Rangoon%20Creeper.html.

It is very interesting that neither "Bengal Plants" nor "Flora Indica"
provides any regional name for this plant. Roxburgh writes, "A native of
Amboyna where it grows to be a large scandent shrub....."

However, A college-text-book mentions it as BRAHMOLATA in Bengali, though
we call it MADHABI-LATA. Other names found in the very same book are -

   - Eng. - Rangoon creeper
   - H & P - Lal-malti
   - Assam - Madhabilata
   - Odisha - Modhumalati
   - G - Barma sinivel
   - Mumbai - Vilayati chambeli
   - Mar. - Lal chameli
   - T. - Rangoon malli
   - Te, - Rangonimalle
   - Bur. (Burma) - Dawchmaing


Regards,
surajit
