Please help to identify this climber flowering & fruiting in Silonda Trail at SGNP (Borivali National Park), Mumbai in wild. Leaves were not seen and the pictures has been taken today (9.4.13). Looks like some Vitaceae sp. (Cissus sp..) ? By now there may be a few leaves which would help in identification. It is most likely a Cissus sp.

Need help for Identification
Habitat: Dry Scrub Forest
Place: Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh
Date: 25 August 2019.
Also check Yes Cissus woodrowii. thank you … Taking this as Cissus arnottiana B.V.Shetty & Par.Singh (as it has tendrils, which are not there in Cissus woodrowii (Stapf ex Cooke) Santapau) and as per discussions at Plant ID. and high resolution specimens at GBIF– one, two, three, four and five
You’re right …, woodrowii hasn’t tendrils but arnottiana has simple tendrils, not forked…. I hope this plant is repanda only, Thanks, … I agree with you. Would this be Cissus woodrowii ?
Place: Peddamandyam mandal, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh.
I think matches with images at Cissus woodrowii I guess … is right ! Rather it may be Cissus repanda Vahl due to forked tendrils, which are simple in Cissus arnottiana B.V.Shetty & Par.Singh Yes, it’s repanda …, very happy to see this post from my native, the stem of the plant looks more similar to C. woodrowii.

Kindly identify this creeper growing out of rocky terrain, with reddish branches, palmate leaves and minute red/ yellow flowers photographed near Madanapalle, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh in February 2017. Cissus or other genera of Vitaceae? This appears to be Cissus repanda (Wight & Arn.) Vahl [Vitaceae]. What would you say about this ?
Can it be Cissus woodrowii (Stapf ex Cooke) Santapau as I do not see any tendrils ? I guess matching ! It could be repanda because the plant seems Straggling shrub, tendrils some times deciduous… and one more thing woodrowii not reported earlier from Chittoor, Ok. … Climber for Identification. : 7 posts by 2 authors.

Requesting you to please identify this woody climber in the dry deciduous forest of central India.
I am observing this climber since 3 years but unable to see the flowers and fruits, I don’t know what is the reason but I haven’t seen them. The population is also stable and quite common.
It is a left handed twining climber. Rest can be observed in the photograph.
I am having doubt on being a Vitaceae member.
Please help.
