... looks so much like Lindenbergia muraria !!

Going by what Sweedle had stated, L. muraria is endemic, rather restricted to Bassein (Vasai) area, north of Mumbai.

Refer to earlier my post http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/c434b0bdaf5d96e7?hl=en

Eager to know this ID.

Regards.

Hello Dinesh,

Lindenbergia muraria is not endemic. It's broadly distributed, rather you will find it in Flora of China too.

Guess by "exclusively on the walls of Bassein fort" Sweedle meant that in that particular area it grows on the walls of the fort.

Cheers,

-Swapna

.... that is lot of relief, many thanks Swapna ... thanks for the clear perception.

And, I assume that you are finding Devendra ji's plant to be L. muraria.
