Convolvulaceae:: Pls help ID Plant from Chennai

Pictures are shared at :
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g-9x2f4g3bMpgYhhUnmUCgDpV2yO_ld1iBhJaOH0a-U/edit?pli=1

The leaves were  4 to 6" length, leathery and deeply veined,, and flowers buds were almost 4".
The sepals were distinctive for being fleshy, recurved and tinted red,  so could be  an  Argyreia. ?

Thanks
regards
A.Sinha

greeenearth,

  Do you happen to have any frontal views of the flower ?

The plant could be a Convolvulaceae but seeing the frontal view of the flower would be helpful and of course fruit is always helpful.

Please try to take some additional views if at all possible if time and location permit.

regards,

Ron

Yes, the flowers are needed, unfortunately they were closed for the day :)
(This line was lost in my struggles with the New and Improved Google Docs, and a Broadband connection which is not Cloud-ready)

I will look again, hopefully the plants would not have been cleared away by then.

The earlier images were kindly identified by communication from Dr G Staples ( Nov 2012) based on sepals and types specimen at Kew as Argyreia cymosa (Roxb) Sweet.

Last week (January 2013) I could find the evening blooming flowers, which are shown below.
This gorgeous  plant, growing wild near an old well., is unbelievably,  again from semi-rural areas of  hot,  hotter Chennai

Thanks to all who had responded.

I think it is Argyreia cymosa (Roxb.) Sweet

Looks different from Rivea.

It is indeed  Argyreia cymosa.   Thanks Garg-ji and Rakesh ji for confirmation, and Gurucharn ji for resurfacing .

Very distinctive and handsome flowers and foliage, reported once common in Coromandel  coastal regions . 

 But near Chennai  this locality was the only one I had seen, alas soon  lost to urban growth.

Happy to see the group active .
