Can't be T. costata because corolla lobes don't have fimbriae in that.

Thank you very much Gurcharan ji for ruling out T. costata.

The fruits of the posted plant are almost same as T. tricuspidata. 

The flowers of T. tricuspidata that I have seen in earlier sightings have always appeared to look dishevelled unlike the prettier T. cucumerina. Here in the posted photos, the flowers appear to be much larger version of T. cucumerina. 

The leaves too seem to be not deeply lobed ... thus not confident whether T. tricuspidata.

Regards.
