It is a very common flower in Andhra. I am not quite getting the name, perhaps it is ‘Garudavardhana’and ‘billy goat stinker’ in some parts of Enland. I think that some varities, may be the white flowered ones are supposed to have cancer fighting properties.
Sorry; I was wrong. From this link:
http://www.tnsmpb.tn.gov.in/images/CATHARANTHUS ROSEUS.pdf
the Indian names are sadaphul, billaganneru (in Telugu),nityakalyani etc.
