Hello. I can help you with only two:
9. passion flower is known as passion flower/passiflora
16. Rangoon creeper is called many names: sehra/jhumka/dulhan bail

I would advise you to do a simple search -top right corner- because most if not all of these plants have been discussed before! And thanks to the members of this forum, we have a flora database of the plants available in pakistan- here is the link: http://gardeningpakistan.com/viewforum.php?f=110

I hope you find what you are looking for and welcome to the forum!

Please do not spend too much time on finding local names as they do not exist. If you are doing it for buying purposes, take a picture and better ask the nursery man for availability.

1. Wisteria as wisteria
4. (Campsis radicans) Trumpet creeper as tecoma bail
9. Passion flower as ghari phool
