This climber was photographed in Nov. 2008 at Mizoram. These are the only photographs available with me.
This climber reminded me of Dioscorea pentaphylla which we see in Sahyadri ranges… Date / Time: 12th Nov. / 09:30AM Location: Mizoram Habitat: Wild plant habit: Climber Hopefully this can be Dioscorea pentaphylla is the leaves are palmately compound with 5 leaflets !! No! This is not D. pentaphylla! Looks like D. oppositifolia. D. oppositifolia is a good choice but can confirm as the leaf orientation is not visible. Thanks … One of my friend has suggested Dioscorea glabra. Requesting you to have a look at following links (Description & illustration). I think this id is correct as per GBIF specimens- one and two and POWO. . Location: Gyaneswor, Kathmandu
Altitude: 1400 m.
Date: 23 October 2021
