We have been mostly considering our posts as *Thunbergia fragrans *Roxb <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/acanthaceae/thunbergia/thunbergia-fragrans>. so far, based on references herein. However, Catalogue of Life gives following with distribution in India: *Thunbergia laevis *Wall. ex Nees var. *laevis* <http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/e7ac89b8e94d6b9222fa228ba6aee0e4> (India (E- N- & peninsular India), Sri Lanka, Mauritius (I), La Runion (I), Rodrigues (I), Sierra Leone (I)) *Thunbergia laevis* var. *parviflora* (Trimen) L.

I tried to find out the differences between these and found one source at A Revised Handbook to the Flora of Ceylon -, Volume 12 <http://books.google.co.in/books?id=Lv9B9ZLeu30C&pg=PA11&dq=Thunbergia+%2B+india&hl=en&sa=X&ei=0qrTU5rmBpOHuATauIL4DQ&ved=0CDUQ6AEwBTgK#v=onepage&q=Thunbergia%20%2B%20india&f=false> By M. D. Dassanayake (1998) Keys are as below: Leaves with a pair of basal lobes on either side, flowers usually solitary in leaf axils- *Thunbergia fragrans* Leaves with a single basal lobes on either side or entire, flowers 2-4 in leaf axils- *Thunbergia laevis* *Thunbergia laevis *var. *laevis* - stem strigulose or glabrescent on angles. Flowers 2-3 in leaf axils. Corola limb 10-11 mm across lateral lobes. *Thunbergia laevis *var. *vestita* - stem and leaves distinctly scabrid, hispid or hirsute. Flowers often solitary. Capsule tomentose. *Thunbergia laevis *var. *laevis* - stem and leaves glabrous or sparsely puberulous. Leaves 2.2-5.6 * 1.5-3.3 cm, generally with one basal lobe on either side. Flowers 1-3 in leaf axils; pedicels slender, to 2 cm long; corola less than 2.5 cm across lateral lobes. Right now I am not sure weather to follow them or not. -- With regards, J.M.Garg 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1> Winner of Wipro-NFS Sparrow Awards 2014 for efloraofindia <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/award-for-efloraofindia>.
