Requesting to please ID this climber captured at SGNP, Mumbai in September 2013. Is this some Argyreia species? This could be Argeriya sericea but more images of leaves, bracts etc are required for the id to be conclusive. The leaf partially eaten appears in the background but it is insufficient. Thank you ... for ID... Unfortunately, I do not have any other pictures of this...
In case you happen to visit the location again, please take images of bracts and leaves.
Photos taken at Aambyvalley Rd., Lonavala, pune in Oct.15. Earlier identified but want to confirm. From the thumbnail images the id looks correct;
Sorry the leaves are eaten up by caterpillars.
