Agumbe ... Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka
Date: 26 DEC 2014 ... Altitude: about 700 m asl 
Is there any other wild Mussaenda besides M. frondosa ?
The buds of the photos posted below have a bulge that is not to be seen in the adjacent picture of M. frondosa. Not sure if it is to be considered just as a variation.
From distance, these buds alluded to some ceropegia; we somehow reached near to the plant - Anurag was quick to realize that it is Rubiceae plant - he concluded it to be some Mussaenda.
