Attachments (6) Came across this profusely fruiting Climber on the way to Matheran. I had seen these fruits only at one location throughout my trek. Great site to watch.. This is Diploclisia glaucescens (Menispermaceae), i hope. As said by … this plant is indeed Diploclisia glaucescens (Blume) Diels in Engler from the family Menispermaceae. It is a woody vine with lovely inconspicuously peltate leaves profuse flowering occurs in this plant hence you saw the later stage!! Kindly see a tentative description & illustration of the plant from Eflora of China, hope it will help you to compare with the plant you have seen.
Flowers of the plant from the FOI posted by Dinesh Ji.
FOI link::
gnitum ?????????? do not know correct spelling. primitive plant. only creeper in gymnosperm? Gnetum sp is from from Gnetaceae a gymnospermic family. Sharing few snaps of the leaves and the seed of Diploclisia glaucescens. A Liana for ID. … could it be some species of Cissampelos ? I think you are right … I hope this is Cissampelos pareira L.
Any possibility of this being Diploclisia glaucescens
This is as … has correctly said Diploclisia glaucescens, seen at Matheran. Has a lot of medicinal value. … would there be more than one liane / climber ? the first pic is mostly fruits, fruits are seen along with the backside of a bunch of leaves in 2nd pic, the third pic is very much leaves of Diploclisia glaucescens. Yes they do resemble Cissampelos, but not quite. I think I have uploaded leaves pics some time back as seen in Matheran in March ’09, I saw the fruits in June ’09. Attaching the same along with other fruits I had put a quiz to my Botany friends! The pic numbered 1 is Diploclisia glaucescens. Hope this helps. Agreed …, convinced … … just convinced me. … and others are absolutely right – Diploclisia glaucescense called Vatoli in Marathi. The award of bright thinking of Gnetum goes to me, …!!! Others are not as capable !! 🙂 does any one have sighting of Gnetum fruits ? … would like to see it in a separate post … many thanks. … had posted the same some time back. bit of technical info. : Gnetum being a gymnosperm cannot have fruit-as other flowering plants do. It has seed, as after all the term Gnetum is a peculiar Gynosperm, and therefore you are perfectly right if you call the seeds fruits, as does all the books, because of the pulpy nature of the fruits!!

Amboli Ghat :: ¿ Diploclisia glaucescens ? :: DVFEB02/02 : 3 posts by 2 authors. 7 images.
Amboli Ghat … Maharashtra
Date: 23 DEC 2014 … Altitude: from 400 m to 700 m asl
Not much aspects to show; thus not too keen in getting ID.
This Menispermaceae vine seen along the ghat road, slender leafless stem, with clusters of flowers and fruits at some places. The tiny flower could be measuring just about 2 mm across; the tiny fruits could be 3 – 4 mm across. The flower cluster reminds of Diploclisia glaucescens; hoping that the cluster of tiny fruits would mature and assume much larger size. ID please Yes the flowers look like D.glaucascens but I have never seen them borne on such tiny branches.
          this beauiful liana
Diploclisia glaucescens was flowering in Karnala, Maharashtra
seen on 25th of march 2018

I guess Diploclisia glaucescens (Menispermaceae) May be Diploclisia glaucescens
Looks slightly different from flowers at Diploclisia glaucescens (Blume) Diels I think id is correct. Also I think that is the only species found in India.
ID request for these seeds. : Attachments (1). 4 posts by 2 authors. They’re about the same size as Tamarind seeds,
Nagpuri Forest, Karnataka, March 2013. There are actually compartments inside each fruit. Under each groove there is a flat yellowish seed .
Also, found in animal excreta. Could this be a Grewia species ? Thank you for forwarding this post, I found out that these are the seeds of Diploclisia glaucescens, a woody climber in the Menispermaceae family.
