Dear Garg ji, Coming back to this old thread, I had made the correction back then. However, just wanted to point out that the abstract of the paper you pointed out, says: "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 ..." Based on this, Dinesh's images from Maharashtra <https://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/4789737927>, which are also on FOI <https://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Creeping%20Cucumber.html>, should belong to *Solena amplexicaulis*.
