Both species are dioecious. In Stephania leaves are glabrous as are the stem as well
In Cissampelos leaves and stem tomentose In Stephania the petiole (leaf stalk) joins the leaf away from the edge / conspicuously peltate (resembles Cyclea peltata) generally triangular-rotund. In Cissampelos the petiole joins the leaf close to the edge In Stephania flowers arranged in stalked umbellate cymes
In Cissampelos Male inflorescences axillary, solitary or few fascicled, corymbose cymes and pubescent whereas, female inflorescences thyrsoid, narrow .
   Creeper from Thoseghar.. – indiantreepix | Google Groups1 : 3 images.
Came across this creeper at “Thoseghar, Satara region”. is it Cyclea peltata ? Thanks Nayan ji for the lead.
I think it is Cissampelos pareira Menispermaceae family)?? I support … view. It could be Cyclea sp. Not Cissampelos pareira. Here are some views of Cissampelos pariera fruiting at Yeoor Hills on 04 OCT 09 … I believe your plant is not it. 3 images. This could be Stephania japonica, owing to its glabrous nature and umbellate inflorescence? Needs confirmation! ‘Cyclea peltata’ is called ‘Thorali Padval’ ‘थोरली पाडावळ’ / ‘मोठी पहाडवेल’ in Marathi & ‘Bruhat Patha’ ‘बृहत् पाठा’ / ‘Raj Patha’ ‘राज पाठा’ in Sanskrit. This was identified as “Stephania japonica” Stephania japonica – indiantreepix | Google Groups1 : Dr.Almeida identified as Stephania japonica [S.heranandifolia].      Name: Stephania japonica (Thunb.) Miers
Family: Menispermiaceae Date: 11 May 2011
Location: Sirumalai hills Dindigul dist., TN Altitude: 1600 ASL Sorry for the poor photographs; Is this ID right, please let me know?
I think the id is correct. Was the leaf glaucos beneath? yes even i think id is correct your first two photograph is correct identification but last three is not Stephania japonica. I also think the ID is correct. the leaf was not glaucous beneath.
Picture taken on 18/8/12 in Lonavala, Maharashtra at a resort.
Climber found growing wild on the fence.
Due to heavy rain, I couldn’t go out again to click more pictures.
Found the shape of the leaves very peculiar.

Collected from: Sirumalai hills, TN.
I don’t know why I had not taken pictures of the plant! This looks like a bunch of fallen flowers/fruits found on the forest floor, probably away from the source plant.

Cyclea peltata (Lam.) Hook. f. & Thoms. wild unisexual climber from Gonikoppal area of Coorg, Karnataka I feel more closer to images at Stephania japonica (Thunb.) Miers rather than those of Cyclea peltata Came across this Climber on the way to Lohagad. Kindly validate the ID.. … looks like Cyclea peltata to me. Agree with … They look like the male flowers of Cyclea peltata. Cyclea peltata from the family Menispermaceae indeed !!!! the peltate leaf in the third photo is enough to confirm the identity !! Cyclea peltata … is commonly known as: buckler-leaved moon-seed • Kannada: ಹಡೆ ಬಳ್ಳಿ hade balli • Konkani: पाडावेल padavel • Malayalam: പാടത്താളി paataththaali • Marathi: मोठी पहाडवेल mothi pahadvel, थोरली पाडावळ thorali padaval • Sanskrit: बृहत् पाठा bruhat patha, राज पाठा raj patha • Tamil: பாடா pata, பொன்முசுட்டை pon-mucuttai • Telugu: పాటతీగె patatige C. burmannii is very similar to C. peltata, these two could be confused for each other.
This confusion is found even in their synonymy. Cyclea peltata (Lam.) Hook. f. & Thoms. Fl. Ind. 201. 1855; FBI 1: 101. p.p; Gamble 1: 31. 1915; Gangopadhyay in Flora of India 1: 325. 1993.

Date: 25th December 2014 A Menispermaceae member, may be Diploclisia glaucescens. Yes …, Diploclisia glaucescens possibly!! Thank you … But I can’t find any descriptions of Diploclisia glaucescens having spines? Please see my first attachment! Possibly those are persistent bracteoles, it may not be spines! it resembles to Diploclisia glaucescons Its a Menispermaceae climber, it could be Cyclea peltata It is Cyclea peltata could you give us an idea of the size of the largest fruits? Just a ball park figure? Also, it looks like a woody liana, is that right? Or is it a herbaceous twiner? This looks like Menispermaceae member I was with … at Agumbe. Ma’am, it was a herbaceous twiner as I remember it and I agree with … regarding the size of the fruits. Thanks …, it must be Cyclea sp. in that case!

Menispermaceae ?
Could be Cyclea peltata.

May be S. japonica ?
