Perhaps the above plant is Mansoa alliacea (or else Mansoa hymenaea) of it smells of garlic It is not Cydista aequinoctialis, which lacks garlic smell
Perhaps the whole internet considers them as synonyms but not the taxonomic world (incl GRIN and KEW Plant List) which knows their differences. After a lot of seach I found answer here: http://zmypulse.info/2011/sctb-0081-wpow/ The answer is found in Flora of Micronesia, 5: Bignoniaceae-Rubiaceae F . Raymond Fosberg, Marie-Helene Sachet and Royce L . O i e lvr SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS, Washington,D.C. 1993 The two genera can be differentiated as under 1. Fruit valves costate, acuminate, plant with garlic odor when bruised or broken; inflorescence racemose on small lateral branchlets calyx-limb flaring, corolla lavender . . . . . . . . Mansoa 1. Fruit valves not notably costate, odor when broken not alliaceous. Inflorescence a twice or more trichotomous cymose panicle, leaflet bases rounded or broadly cuneate, pseudostipules inconspicuous or early caducous, tendril often present and conspicuous; calyx-limb not notably flaring; corolla limb whitish to pink or lavender. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Cydista There are, however, at least two vines known as garlic vine: Mansoa hymenaea (DC.) A. H. Gentry and Mansoa alliacea Lamk. The two are also confused with each other. Perhaps some one can find above plant is ultimately Mansoa alliacea or Mansoa hymenaea. For that a key is needed. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
