Hello Dinesh ji,

This plant does not feature in some of the references that I have checked - the Flora of Gujarat State by GL Shah etc. Am also not aware of any report of this plant from Gujarat.

Best wishes, Viplav

Good picture and excellent work dear Dinesh ji,
Both Malayalam and English name and spelling are correct.
The flower produces a strange unfavorable smell, with regards, Sam
