Thanks a lot for the effort Shrikant sir, By no angle it fits into Ceropegia or family Apocynaceae. Just for your information, I found a Ceropegia in Gori Ganga valley during my trip with Dr. Jyotsna, and for 99% sure it was a new species. I was stupid enough that I was carrying it in my hands and somehow flower fell off while walking down the slopes. Worst thing I didnt even take a pic, because I was so sure it to be new!!! Pankaj
