I suggest Ipomoea laciniata (snm Ipomoea diversifolia ) . 

Images are good . 

What is required is local exploration for more leaf forms , if any . 

Extreme dissection of leaf is present in this case.. it needs to be ascertained whether 

less dissected leaf forms are present or not . 

[ There are  species of Convolvulaceae in our country waiting to be discovered .

 Recently there was a post on facebook from near Jalgaon MH , reporting what looked like Ipomoea tenuipes ,

 only difference was it had round corolla limb  . 

Then I found out this species was published from Aurangabad MH , and reported in EFI from Vadodara GJ .]

Thank you Saroji ji and Rakesh ji for possible ID.

Rakesh ji,  I observed this plant at 3 different locations in Warad(District Sindhudurg) area. Attached photos are from these three locations.
Location 1 photos:  From     Unidentified_Convolvulaceae_1.jpeg      to        Unidentified_Convolvulaceae_7.jpeg
Location 2 photos : From    Unidentified_Convolvulaceae_8.jpeg       to        Unidentified_Convolvulaceae_11.jpeg
Location 3 photos : Unidentified_Convolvulaceae_12.jpeg, Unidentified_Convolvulaceae_14.jpeg, Unidentified_Convolvulaceae_15.jpeg,Unidentified_Convolvulaceae_16.jpeg

All these specimens had similar leaves. No prominent variation was seen. But I will try to collect/explore more such specimens to check for variations in the leaf form and whether less dissected leaf forms are present.

Thank you.

Regards
Shiwalee
