I think *T. laurifolia* is the accepted name for *T. grandiflora* var. *laurifolia *as per the plant list*.* FOI also says so @ http://www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Laurel%20Clock%20Vine.html But the 2011 revision of Flora of China says *Thunbergia grandiflora. * While searching for *T. grandiflora* I couldn't see the species name as such in the plant list
