Very interesting, the plant <http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K000742725> is exceedingly like *Mukia scabrella* Arn. <http://www.iiim.res.in/herbarium/cucurbitaceae/mukia_scabrella.htm>, just as FBI notes, and flowering season also matches. And there is one *Mukia leiosperma* Thwaites <http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K000742786> too, don't know distribution though.
Hope, the ID is correct, at least I can see one difference - minute calyx teeth. Thank you for sharing Regards surajit On Sun, Mar 29, 2015 at 3:38 PM, J.M.
