This is Rivea hypocrateriformis of Convolvulaceae. The picture seems to have been taken early morning because the flowers are white, fragrant and bloom at night. They turn pink before withering in the morning. The leaves resemble that of Bauhinia racemosa and had confused me when I recently saw this climber on B. racemosa. Dr. Gurcharan's remarks seem to be about the climber with yellow flowers. This M. tuberosa is known as the 'Wood Rose' on account of its woody rose like fruits with persistent calyx. The fruits are used in dry flower arrangements. Regards
