I think it should be Solena heterophylla Lour. as per DeWilde_Solena_Blumea2004 (1).pdf

[JM Garg]

Taking it as Solena umbellata (Willd.) W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes as no distribution for Solena heterophylla Lour. subsp. heterophylla as per  Review of the Genus Solena (Cucurbitaceae) Authors: Wilde, W.J.J.O. De; Duyfjes, B.E.E.
