Sorry, this should be Thunbergia erecta, not Thunbergia alata.

Thank you very much, Mr. Arun Kumar. By the way I had identified Thunbergia alata and fragrans but I have not seen erecta! Thanks again Paul

Doubtful ID. The leaves of T.erecta are quite different.

Hello Mr. Mahadeshwara and thank you for your comment. I do not know if the leaves of the photo are significant (maybe another plant!) On this other view the leaves are more consistent.

Photo taken on 19/02/2018 in Maddeala-Matale District-SriLank  Your opinion will be welcome! Paul

I think it must be Thunbergia erecta; the leaves in foreground could be of some other plant.

Regards.

The leaves do not belong to the flower, it is some Tree's. Like Thespesia populnea. Thunbergia erecta has a straggling habit so it is blooming amidst the tree's foliage.
