Thank you Prof. Singh. Dr. Almeida has mentioned T.fragrans var.laevis as one of the synonyms and that's fine with me - T.fragrans var. laevis it is. Regards, Neil Soares.

B. Clarke ex Hook.f. as was done in Flora of British India. This differs from T. fragrans var. fragrans in having flowers two in each leaf axil (you can see that in first photograph, one perhaps dried up and one fresh), pedicel much thickened above in fruit, flowers without fragrans, tube greenish and capsule puberulous. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

According to Dr. Almeida's 'Flora of Maharashtra' Vol 4A , Thunbergia laevis is a synonym of Thunbergia fragrans. Will have to settle for T.fragrans.
