Hi,
For me also this looks like I. carnea Syn I. fistulosa. It should have
been confirmed if a picture of leaves was attached. Aarti Ji, do you
have any?

Gurcharan ji and Nidhan ji,
Let me check and get back to you if there are any more pictures.

Nidhan ji,
Luckily I found one more picture of this creeper although not too good.
Just checked in flowersofindia.net
Could this be Argyreia sericea,Silky Morning Glory or Silky Wood rose?

[Gurcharan Singh]

Not I. carnea if it is a creeper. Aarti ji, you may be right. Let us see other comments.

The 2nd photo contains much more detail that the 1st photo.

The plant seems to be consistent with some type of argyreia but I
could not say for certain but i will mention some noteworthy
characteristics that i see

1) the leaves are cordate

2) there stems have a fine whitish pubescence that is typical for
Argyreia type species

3) there is hair visible on the ribs extending the entire length of
the corolla

4) the secondary bracts at the base of the peduncle and pedicels are
quite different in structure as compared to the sepals

Food for thought...

regards,

Ron

Aarti ji

It feels good to notice that you are slowly shaping into a good taxonomist.

Dear Gurcharan ji,
Thanks for those encouraging words.
Around three years ago,I didn't know a single name of flora.By chance
I found flowersofindia site.My son who was here on a vacation,
encouraged me to send my pictures.Initially I was very reluctant...but
my son kept on reminding me.Out of five pictures that I sent,four were
added on the site.Tabish ji encouraged me a lot initially...how to
resize pictures,etc.
Thus slowly, this journey began.
Now in my spare time, I always have something to do...never get bored
and also get to learn so much.

Yes Aarti ji

That is not your case only, even for me who was supposed to be an expert taxonomist way back in 1970-75 in Kashmir. When I joined Delhi University in 1975, I got so busy in teaching that my involvement with plants in nature remained limited to local trips for students, and annual trips to places in India.

    Two things changed my life style: a digital camera presented by my son, and my joining indiantreepix (thanks to Dr. Janamurty who introduced me to this group (from TAXACOM, where I used to send my photographs)). It has changed my life style. I am on lookout for visiting more and more places. While in California, I have photographed plants in thousands (but upload only those which are relevant to our Flora), and would plan my next visit in a different months to catch new plants.

     My primary interest still remains Himalayan Flora, and I would be visiting different areas in different months to have the maximum catch. I am planning Kashmir visit this time in July-August (peak season for high altitude Flora), last time it was June.  

     I have often been thinking, if I had not joined this group, how would have I spent my retirement days?. Now planning for future trips, clicking new photographs, processing these, identifying these and interacting on the group, keeps me much more busy than my days of active service. Luckily I have another hobby of making videos from stills or clips from digicam. Many of these are on the facebook for those interested.

It feels real good to read your experiences. I am thrilled about your involvement, commitment and enthusiasm which not only keeps you busy but also help others, as the case of your (all the 'elite members' in the group) productive as well as healthy interactions in the group. When enthusiasm adds up to the knowledge & experience, nothing can beat that. Please keep the good work going.
