At Shahapur. Unfortunately have no further information. Is it a species of Ipomea ? Don’t think this is Trichosanthes tricuspidata. Could it be Adenia hondala ? Have finally whittled it down to Adenia hondala.

Few years back when i had been to Phansad Wild Life Sanctuary, i spotted orange coloured fruits of a woody climber and i was told that the fruits are poisonous. I wanted to see the flowering of this climber but it was eluding me for long…
Finally during my visit to Kankeshwar (near Alibag) in April 2013, i saw the flowering of this rare climber.
Was fortunate to capture various stages of its flowering and fruiting. (Special thanks to … for helping me in spotting this climber at Kankeshwar).
Bot. name: Adenia hondala Syn: Modecca palmata Family: Passifloraceae Really a lovely find … thanks for showing nicely displayed photographs… Very beautifully illustrated! Great plant hunting! The fruits really look delicious, may be for other animals, not meant for the humans. It is really a great pleasure when a long lasting desire to shoot a specific plant is fulfilled.
Thank you for sharing the picture and the story! Oh I too remember meeting this plant !!
Nice pictures and collage, dear Prashant – very aptly the flora picture of the year ! Indeed thanks to … for showing this plant to us at Kanakeshwar.
Unique member of passion flower family ! Wonderful presentation & collage making. Simply mesmerising. Nice pics and very strange name. What does hondala stand for? … has got answer for that… http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/8630925237/

May be a Sri Lankan friend can tell us the actual meaning of the name. Family: Passifloraceae
came across these globuse fruits in Phansad WLS (Maharashtra) during May-2008. Id Please.. After seeing your pictures, I certainly was having a wonderful laugh. Thanks for posting- what varied wonderful things we are able to see through our interactions. This could be raw passion fruit. There are two varieties of it one becomes purple when it ripens the other becomes yellow. However, if we I think Passiflora edulis Sims is possible as per details herein and as per comparative images at Passiflora i think i have identified this plant when i encountered it in some part of Maharastra. but right now not able to recollect. please allow me some time, i will check it from some older hardisks. i observed it when the fruits were not there. but looking at the habit, i am sure it is that same plant. This is Adenia hondala. Thanks, … Yes, appears so as per Adenia hondala
Yes … Adenia handola… thanks
