Yes, it is I. alba but every one would like to know why? Pls appreciate that the length (even width) of flower can not be judged from the picture, had it been just 1 cm it could have been said to be Convolvulus sp. Here the bud would be 10-12 cm long and must be about to open because this flower opens at evening. It is hence called the Moon Flower. It must have been found near human settlement because the plant originating from Srilanka would be cultivated and not wild. All this add-on info helps the ID. Rgds, Shrikant
