Taking it as Solandra grandiflora in view of discussions at Solandra grandiflora FOR VALIDATION :: Dattaji Salvi Udyan :: 10 MAY 18

[JM Garg]

However, BSI Flora of India Checklist lists only Solandra maxima (Sesse & Moc.) P.S.Green (syn.  Solandra grandijlora sensu Deb). POWO says 'It is a scrambling shrub and grows primarly in the seasonally dry tropical biome(s)' and CoL gives its introduction in Mauritius (I), Sri Lanka (I)  (vs 'It is a epiphyte and grows primarly in the wet tropical biome(s)' for Solandra grandiflora Sw. by POWO).  

In view, it is better to keep it as Solandra maxima (Sesse & Moc.) P.S.Green only.

Keys given in the attached document by Tabish ji at Solandra grandiflora FOR VALIDATION :: Dattaji Salvi Udyan :: 10 MAY 18, also support this.
