Looks more close to Gynura cusimbua (D. Don) S. Moore since there seems to be no distribution

of Gynura nepalensis DC. for Kerala and south India.

Thank you.

This is Gynura pseudochina as per keys in BSI Flora of India due to tuberous roots and as per POWO specimen and FoPI.

A very good find, Sam ji.

Tuberous roots have helped in nailing the id.

Your complete photography showing all parts is highly appreciated.
