Dr Reddy Sir, Thank you very much for confirming the species. The day before yesterday i came to know that some local people call it LAVANGA-LATA (lavanga = clove; lata = climber/twiner/creeper) in Bengali. This is, however, i think due to blackish dry male flowers of this plant. But, unlike the plant this name (LAVANGA-LATA) is not common.
