Jacquemontia pentantha (Jacq.) G. Don

Climber with ovate-cordate leaves, flowers blue about 25 mm across on long pedunculate cymes.

 Closely similar to J paniculata which has calyx lobes ovate-lanceolate nearly 5-6 mm broad, and corolla shorter barely 1 cm long as against 2-4 mm broad and corolla 2 cm long in J. pentantha.

Photographed from near from Kaikondrahalli lake Bangalore, 17-9-2015.
