Thanks, Garg ji for attaching the publication; thanks Tabish for resurfacing the old post.
The first two photos showing flowers belong to observation dtd. July 11, 2010 <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/81422504>, ...will revise the ID to *S. amplexicaulis*. ... while the one showing the ridged fruit belongs to another,observation of July 14, 2012 <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/82402619> which by now has been validated as *Solena heterophylla* by Prof. Dr. Hanno Schaefer and Radha Veach. Going through the publication attached by Garg ji does tell me that it ought to be *Solena umbellata*. As of now, I do have one validated observation of *Solena umbellata* <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/220455107>. Regards. Dinesh On Sat, Sep 14, 2024 at 3:48 PM J.M.
