solitary male flowers are also found in M. subangulata and M. cochinchinensis with enlarged bract near tip. M. balsamina would have ovary like M. charantia like ovary with distant tubercles. Tubercles here are somewhat spiny like M. subangulata. I hope male and female flowers were on different vines. Dinesh ji may please confirm.
