Bubai Ji,
Isn't this Merremia quinquefolia?

Throat is smaller for Ipomoea cairica , Limb is bigger for Ipomoea quinquefolia . I would like to see a side view .

Merremia quinquefolia has essentially 5 lobes , here 6 lobed leaf too is seen . 
Limb and throat very different than M. quinquefolia .

Can it be Merremia quinata ? 
Unless getting side view and full leaf , with sizes , it will be difficult to decide ....since the specimen does not match any known Indian species in Convolvulaceae . Merremia quinata has emerged as as probable . It is a common species in China , described in Flora of China , also reported from Australia .

I too , have reminded Bubai Ji . 
In the meantime , there is news . 
Ipomoea as a Genus has been revised ... by scientists from Kew ...
along with Ipomoea ... Argyreia , Turbina , Astripomea , Rivea , Stictocardia have undergone major change . 
Many taxa from Argyreia have been transfered into Ipomoea , including Argyreia bella and Argyreia argentea (Saroj sir  !) 
I have got pdf , still going through ...I had received   it as file , I can share it individually , no link sadly . 
Ipomoea acanthocarpa is recognised with Ipomoea piurensis as synonym , there is story behind it  , shared in the paper ...  from America as well as Africa ...they do not know about its presence in India yet .

Garg sir , our North East states have a lot common in flora with SE Asia . 
Recently a facebook post from Tripura was identified as Merremia mammosa . 
I too have read somewhere  Merremia quinata being distributed in NE , and M. gemella too in NE (and Gujarat as per Indiabiodiversity.org)
