Taken by the roadside growing wild on the 16th of November, 2010 at
Kandy, Sri Lanka.
Sorry for the bad quality of pictures as taken in a hurry.
The flowers resembled that of Potato Vine.But have not seen such
fruits on Potato Vine before.
Is it some Solanum?

This is Cardiospermum halicacabum indeed, I suppose the name
Cardiospermum have been derived from heart- shaped scar on the seeds.
