Great find ! I think it has to be Ceropegia oculata.

Flowers turn upside down after anthesis to release the pollinator
trapped at the basal dome of the corolla around gynostegium. Downward
pointing stiff hair inside the corolla tube also become limp to let
out the insect. There is no harm (to the plant) in cut opening the
pollinated flower to see these interesting features. Regards, Shrikant

Sweta ji, the book is very much there but may be only in Pune shops.
The new book is on 'Trees of Pune'. Pls have your requirements sent to
me so that they can be sent by courier. If you can club the quantity,
you can avail discount also. Regards, Shrikant
