I think it occurs in India. Pl. see Review of the Genus Solena (Cucurbitaceae) <http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea/2004/00000049/00000001/art00004> Authors*: *Wilde, W.J.J.O. De; Duyfjes, B.E.E. Source*:* Blumea - Biodiversity, Evolution and Biogeography of Plants, Volume 49, Number 1, May 2004 , pp. 69-81(13) (*Abstract: *The genus *Solena* Lour. is redefined, and its 3 species and 1 subspecies are keyed out and described: *S. amplexicaulis* occurs in S India, *S. heterophylla*, with 2 subspecies is widespread, but does not occur in S India, and *S. umbellata* (Klein ex Willd.) W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes, *comb*. *nov*., occurs in S India and Sri Lanka. The status of *S. heterophylla* subsp. *napaulensis* (Ser.) W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes, *comb. & stat. nov.* needs further study as this subspecies is very similar to the more widespread subsp. *heterophylla*, but it is distinct by sigmoid thecae. *Solena amplexicaulis* is taxonomically more distinct from the other two species of *Solena*. In southern India *Kedrostis foetidissima* much resembles *Solena* in general habit, especially by the more or less amplexicaul leaves, and therefore it is discussed and keyed out against *Solena*.)
