Hi If it has very sticky pilose/fruit and prostrate stem with rough leaf, please check this species: Commicarpus grandiflorus (A.Rich.) Standl. (Family-Nyctaginaceae). It is quite common in East Africa. Here the link: http://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.flora.flos001249
Dear Dr. Meragiaw,
It is definitely not Commicarpus grandiflorus...
Closely marsdenia but petals not twisted, inside pubescent.....
Yes it is correct Answer....
Species name: Leptadenia reticulata.....Family : Apocynaceae:
Thanks for Identification help....thanks alll.....
Leptadenia reticulata
English: Cork Swallow-Wort
It is commonly in Himalaya region, Up and Deccan peninsular areas, it is a twining shrub, numerous branches, the stems are cork-like, bark deeply cracked, glabrous. Leaves are ovate, acute, and glabrous on top. Flowers are yellow, in lateral cymes, often small hairy. The roots are the main part of the plant used in the preparation of Ayurveda medicines, which is buff colored or white in color.
Luliana et al.
Well broadly considering this would definitely fall under Leptadenia reticulata, but I was rather hesitant to be sure about specific identification as the original description and documentation of L.reticulata shows slightly different flower features specially longer Flower stalk than illustrated by Chenna (kindly see link):.
