Dear Arati Aunty, It took me a long one hour to keep your request to identify the plant for you. This plant is not at all from Rubiaceae rather it is from Cactaceae commonly known as Rose Cactus or Leaf Cactus scientifically known as *Pereskia bleo* (Kunth) DC. (Syn: *Pereskia corrugate*).
Kindly pardon me for late reply and bad hint initially.
