Woody Climber-250111-PKA1: 9 images.
I had seen this large woody climber on the way to Yana from Vibhuti water
Falls (Karnataka). I could not spot any flowers, fruits were globuse and greenish coloured. Date/Time: 20-01-2011 / 12:30PM
Location: On the trek route to Yana from Vibhuti water Falls. Habitat: Wild Plant Habit: Climber. But, i am sure that this plant is NOT Coscinium fenestratum 🙁 Pl see this link for C.fenestratum: This is Anamirta cocculus, I presume. But the leaves represents a Piper species. This is a clear example of ambiguity while taking photographs. As …. pointed out the “fruits” belong to, most probably, Menispermaceae family but I am wondering about the leaves.
