By now it should be clear that this species can't be *Operculina turpethum* - NO, NOT FOR THE STEM (though winged stem is an identifying character, but I will leave that part). The CAPSULE/ fruit in *Operculina turpethum* is "CIRCUMSCISSILE DEHISCENT".
So, what this species can be is the million dollar question! Is it *Merremia umbellata* (L.) Hallier f. (of eFI), which is based on * Ipomoea cymosa* (Desr.) Roem. & Schult of "Flora of British India"? There is no easy answer to this very question, because - 1. *Merremia umbellata* (L.) Hallier f. is now *Camonea umbellata* (L.) A.R.Simões & Staples 2. *Ipomoea cymosa* (Desr.) Roem. & Schult is now *Camonea pilosa* (Houtt.) A.R.Simões & Staples ...... more ??? ...... happy reading - https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Main-morphological-characters-of-Camonea-A-Camonea-pilosa-creeping-habit-Photograph_fig14_316853209 On Thu, 15 Jul 2021 at 14:25, J.M.
