Habitat- Urban Type-Plant Habit- Climber Flowers Size/ Colour- pink. Yes Antigonon leptopus from Polygonaceae the plant is known to have caducous ochreate stipule Difficult to have local names as it is an introduced ornamental, unless some one has coined some local name. Sonchampa, Pivla champa, Kud champa in marathi Thank you ... for trying to help with the Marathi name but I think these names are of Chapha flowers Michelia champaca of Magnoliaceae
Yes I don't think the names suggested by ... should fit this plant Son champa is Mar. name for Michelia acuminata Pivala champa and kud champa are Mar. name for Michelia champaca, also pilo champo and rae champo in Guj.
... is absolutely right.... Champa is a name reserved for usually fragrant flowers in any Indian vernacular... Where as, this (Antigonon) is 1cm or less small NON_FRAGRANT flower... on a vine... its called coral vine in English... native of mexico was brought in to India / Bengal during the same time as when the original botanical garden was started in Calcutta... via Bermuda and /or Jamaica... where its tea is drunk as original NSAID . and underground tubers were eaten in times of famine... I have not found a traditional name here, although I must say we in Bengal are very fond and efficient at adapting a plant/ flower we like and giving it romantic name/s... such as Krishnachura for another import of recent century... Delonix regia..

Antigonon leptopus from Jaipur: Antigonon leptopus from a private garden @ Jaipur. Dated- 07.11.11 Common name-Coral Vine , Family- Polygonaceae am so glad to see it thriving... for some reasons ... the Antigonon leptopus populations in West Bengal have dwindled , almost not seen any vine that's thriving... a few are struggling... haven't seen any that have fruits/seeds on them.. The climber grows wild in Chennai in pink / white coloured flowers. One can see this climber, during this season, everywhere. I have tried this to grow from stem cuttings and tubersin my college, can anybody give idea how to propagate this vine ... by seeds is the best way.. I had collected seeds from a friends' garden fence in 1993 in central florida, and let them dry, stored them in red topped sterile test tubes with airtight stoppers at RT .... and in 1996 or 1997 spring planted them... in 1998 summer had a thriving flowering vine in my 6-8 gallon soilless potting mix pot in my balcony, over-wintered inside (it snows where I was) ... after flowering though it died in the pot, and I wanted to reuse the pot and to my surprise found tubers... I cut open the tubers to photograph... so cant tell you if they would grow or not... BUT from what I read... tubers are used for famine food in its native central and south america and the tubers sprout to give new vines in case of forest fires... they survive deep inside the soil when every thing else chars... so may be they need heated soil, or very alkaline soil (from the ashes of the vines and other plants) to re-sprout.... or some bacteria or fungi that overtake the burnt forest soil after the fire may release some growth factors.... I wonder if anybody has tested soil for such factors after a forest fire where antigonon grows ?? ... forgot to tell you I had saved one tuber and planted it...next spring..but did not grow... my garden club friends had thought that perhaps it was not old / large enough...with only one growing season, that too growing in balcony in a pot may not have stored enough energy to re-sprout...

It is my pleasure to present few images of Antigonon leptopus (Polygonaceae) Habit: A woody climber Habitat: Wild, possibly an escape, by a roadside Sighting: Tumkur, Karnataka, about 800 msl Date: 20-04-2014 and 08-07-2014 Thanks, ..., for these pictures. very nice. most of these in kolkata gardens died of some virus spreading. we do find them in remote villages and one in by the dhakuria lakes in a private garden. they used to be everywhere 2 or decades ago. my question I frequently see this particular specimen every week on my way home every weekend. I did not verify about fruiting. Now that you have asked I will try to get down and observe. Will update you. in west bengal villages where i has seen some sprawling on the grounds making small mounds. i had been warned not to disturb them since SNAKES are known to hide there. so be careful. distrub themn not and carry a stick to look or better still donrt do it at all. Thanks ... for your concern and info as well. As you said this particular creeper was sprawling and spreading, visited by a lot of honey bees even at noon. I will be careful henceforth. Location: 12 Mile, Kalimpong, India Date: 23 May 2017 Altitude: 4000 ft. Antigonon leptopus... Thank you ... Antigonon leptopus Hook. & Arn. Date- 27/2/18 Location - Maharashtra Nature Park, Mumbai Habit- Climber Flower- Pinkish Antigonon leptopus The ID is correct. The plant is common in Mysore and grows wild as well.
Flora of Panipat: Antigonon leptopus from Paras Nursery Panipat: Antigonon leptopus from Paras Nursery Panipat Cultivated vine grown for its pink beautiful flowers I would like seeds of this plant... something has happened to these plants in Calcutta... I cant find them ... there used to be a profusion near the court house in alipore, in my parents neighborhood, and most ballygunj homes has some... along with quis qualis... .. and Tollygunje tram depot was over run with them... but now I cant find them anywhere.... I want some seeds for my balcony 5 or six seeds would do... if your nursery man would not mind... can you ask? Since last two year every 3rd or 4th day i am visiting Paras nursery for seeds of Antigonon and passiflora . I got some seeds last year but they did not germinated. This vine is again in flowering stage and i am waiting for seeds to ripen. Surely will collect seeds for me and you also. However this year i could get 10 plants of passiflora from cuttings and two of antigonon from cuttings. And i found passiflora to propagate by cuttings very easily. But Antigonon very difficult. Be careful about Antigonon leptopus. Once it starts spreading it is difficult to control. It can occupy the whole area growing gregariously and rob all the nutrients.
