P.S. - I just located an older thread here https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/eaa37c44806d100d?hl=en which contains a plant which looks like a match except for the flower size although other features such as leaves and calyx features look to be the same...therefore I would suggest that the species that is the subject of this thread is either Argyreia capitiformis or something very closely related to A.capitiformis.. regards, Ron
