The plants here have hair on the inside of corolla lobes and calyx is much shorter than the corolla. The description matches more closely to the Cynanchum glaucum in Flora Simlensis: 'Calyx about half as long as the corolla. Corolla hairy on the inner surface.' Tibetan Medicinal Plant treats C. glaucum (V. glaucum) as a synonym of V. canescens and describes it as: 'Corolla yellow or green fading to greenish orange; tube approximately 1mm; lobes ovate, 2-3 x 1.5 mm, hairless outside, sparsely hirsute inside; sepals less than 1mm.' But the authors treat it as part of the larger V. hirundinaria group perhaps because medicinal properties are similar. FOP says: 'Perennial undershrub, c. 15-70 cm tall, erect to twining, pubescent. Leaves 4-7 cm x 1.8-6 cm, ovate-lanceolate or cordate, glabrous to pubescent, entire, acute to acuminate. Flowers clustered in the leaf axils. Pedicels 4-5 mm long. Calyx lobes c. 1.5 mm long, lobes oblong to lanceolate, acute. Corolla c. 4 mm long, cream to greenish, lobes hairy on the inner surface. Corona lobes 5, obtuse. Follicles 5-6 x 1-1.5 (-2) cm, gradually tapering towards the tip. Fl. Per.: June-September.'
I just edited these photos from my earlier walk. I found this growing at about 2300m. The fruit was like a green chilly. Please help identify it. Above Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, HP 2300m 09 July, 2016 It may be Cynanchum sp. (family Asclepidaceae). Looks like an Apocynaceae. Thank you ... I saw this plant on my walk on Sunday again. There were no flowers this time but the beans were in pairs. I plucked one leaf to check for the milky sap but there was none. I am not sure what I did wrong. Perhaps I should have broken the leaf in stead of expecting milky sap from the leaf stem. Not all Apocynaceae has milky latex. Not Asclepiadaceae is merged under Apocynaceae. Thanks, ...

Vincetoxicum canescens ABMAY01/2018 : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (10) I found this milkweed near home this time. I had photographed it earlier and posted to the group here. Revisiting the ID, I found it to be not V. hirundinaria as the description in Flowers of the Himalaya states: 'Corolla c. 5mm across, with nearly hairless triangular lobes' and 'calyx-lobes triangular, nearly as long as corolla' for V. hirundinria. The plants here have hair on the inside of corolla lobes and calyx is much shorter than the corolla. The description matches more closely to the Cynanchum glaucum in Flora Simlensis: 'Calyx about half as long as the corolla. Corolla hairy on the inner surface.' Tibetan Medicinal Plant treats C. glaucum (V. glaucum) as a synonym of V. canescens and describes it as: 'Corolla yellow or green fading to greenish orange; tube approximately 1mm; lobes ovate, 2-3 x 1.5 mm, hairless outside, sparsely hirsute inside; sepals less than 1mm.' But the authors treat it as part of the larger V. hirundinaria group perhaps because medicinal properties are similar. FOP says: 'Perennial undershrub, c. 15-70 cm tall, erect to twining, pubescent. Leaves 4-7 cm x 1.8-6 cm, ovate-lanceolate or cordate, glabrous to pubescent, entire, acute to acuminate. Flowers clustered in the leaf axils. Pedicels 4-5 mm long. Calyx lobes c. 1.5 mm long, lobes oblong to lanceolate, acute. Corolla c. 4 mm long, cream to greenish, lobes hairy on the inner surface. Corona lobes 5, obtuse. Follicles 5-6 x 1-1.5 (-2) cm, gradually tapering towards the tip. Fl. Per.: June-September.' I made some measurements too: Plants 40-80cm tall, pubescent. Leaves c. 5cm x 7cm, bottom ones smaller and blunt-tipped, hairy on the nerves underneath and on the edges. Flowers greenish-yellow c. 1cm across, 5-7 petals (lobes), smooth outside but hairy on the inside; sepals narrow c. 1.5-2mm each. Pedicels 4-5mm. And since the plants are flowering at the moment, I can say Late-April is more correct than June. Considering the above information, I would like to think that the plants here (and on our site) are V. canescens. Please advise.
