UNID Madhya Pradesh Climber: This picture is of a fruit of a climber seen in Madhya Pradesh in Sidhi
District near Rewa
. I observed during the first week of April. Though, it looks familiar I am not able to remember the name of this plant. Would be glad if anyone can help me ID this one. Most of the part of the climber was leafless. the fruits where basket shaped, the seeds were papery brown in Colour. 


– This twiner is Aristolochia indica L. of Aristolochiaceae. Am I right?
Tamil Names: Aadagam, Eshwara mooli, Garudakkodi


– It is fruiting of Aristolochia indica


– Is A. indica found in MP? or Is it a new record?


Aristolochia indica (in the photo) is found in Madhya Pradesh – in mixed forest as per the flora.
And .., next time you plan MP trip, if it includes areas Seoni/Chinndwada/Balaghat do let me know and you are most welcome to our Seoni home which is near one of the best forests of Central India- Kanha-Pench.

climber for ID Hyderabad (24-09-13 NAW) :  Attachments (5). 12 posts by 6 authors.
Kindly identify this climber. found at an abandoned bungalow in Hyderabad. photographed on 24th august 2013.
the white flower is roughly 2-3 cm long, spherical ‘bulb’ at bottom of flower roughly 8 mm diameter. The stem is cream with brown markings.


Aristolochia sp.


May be the the pelican flower –Aristolachia Indica.


Thank you sirs for the identification. Interesting that while the plant is highly toxic to humans, it forms the essential food of rare butterfly species. By when could one expect seed pods to be ready?


even if toxic, it is highly medicinal……


efi page on Aristolochia indica & other species of Aristolochia in efi so far.


Aristolochia sps. but not A.indica


the flower seemed to me to be clearly white and not ‘purple’ as mentioned in the species details of Aristolochia indica. otherwise it does look very much like it. could you recommend whether taking more specific pictures would help, and what i should be looking for?


It is Aristolochia indica, the flower color, leaf base are variable in A.indica.


I think it represents A. indica


Thank you all for confirming identity. i will try to get some seeds whenever they are ready.

Please id ? Ceropegia tagala
? ? Ceropegia indicus
Growing in a pot in my balcony


sorry I meant Aristolochia tagala or A.indicus


I think it’s Aristolochia indica seeing the leaves.
