Gurcharanji is absolutely right.... I was wondering how to correct Mr. Lal without sounding trite... Gurcharanj i did it very nicely. Thanks.
Champa is a name reserved for usually fragrant flowers in any Indian vernacular... Where as, this (Antigonon) is 1cm or less small NON_FRAGRANT flower... on a vine... its called coral vine in English... native of mexico was brought in to India / Bengal during the same time as when the original botanical garden was started in Calcutta... via Bermuda and /or Jamaica... where its tea is drunk as original NSAID . and underground tubers were eaten in times of famine... I have not found a traditional name here, although I must say we in Bengal are very fond and efficient at adapting a plant/ flower we like and giving it romantic name/s... such as Krishnachura for another import of recent century... Delonix regia..
