This plant  looks like  Apocynaceae : Ichnocarpus frutescens.... Please 
validate.

A  scandent shrub / climber photographed in the outskirts of Chennai, 
flowering sparsely in  end September.
   
   - The leaves are  opposite, entire,  blade is stiff, shiny and smooth 
   above,, whitish, sub-glabrous  below.  New growth is bronze tinged, as are 
   the branchlets.
   - The Flowers are small, calyx 3 to 4mm,  the petals are 6-8 mm long  
   and distinctive, narrrowing into filiform ends,  twisted, fringed only on 
   the right margin 

No tendrils or spines were visible, so I was  wondering how these climb.  
Another plant which had similar leaves  had grown to 16 ft over a coconut 
tree, but since it was not flowering I cannot be sure if it was the same.

Thanks and regards,  A Sinha
