Thunbergia mysorensis

Mysore thunberia is a superlative climber found in the shola forest foothills of the Western Ghats. Blooming from October to February, this highly decorative plant creates quite an impact in any garden.

Local people call the woody stemmed evergreen  “Ladies Shoe” because of the shape of the flower, which is the perfect shape to attract nectar loving Sunbirds.
