Needs rethinking as characteristic distinct secondary and tertiary veins are missing.

Dear Mr. Garg,

This should be Vincetoxicum glaucum (Wall. ex Wight) Rech.fil. syn. Vincetoxicum hirundinaria subsp. glaucum (Wall. ex Wight) H.Hara

The plant is stiff and erect whereas Vincetoxicum kenouriense (Wight) Decne. is erect though flexible,

the leaf shape is different, the leaves are thick, stiff and leathery compared to Vincetoxicum kenouriense (Wight) Decne.,

which is more papery and soft.
