As per efi thread:

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.'
