Dear friends,
Please validate whether Tetrastigma leucostaphylum or T. muricatum, if the photos help.

Flora of Eastern Ghats: Hill Ranges of South East India, Volume 1 By T. Pullaiah, D. Muralidhara Rao, K. Sri Ramamurthy (Description & Keys– Tetrastigma bracteolatum, Tetrastigma gamblei, Tetrastigma leucostaphylum, Tetrastigma rumicispermum & Tetrastigma sulcatum)

Could this be Tetrastigma leucostaphylum ?

I also think Tetrastigma leucostaphylum (Dennst.) Alston ex Mabb. as per images and details herein.

Arunachal Climber for ID_RKC07_180811:
Habit: Climber
Loc.: East Kameng district, Arunachal Pradesh (ca 500msl)
Date: July 2009

May be a Tetrastigma species. Interesting plants and nice pictures, ….eager to know the correct id.

Keys in Flora of Bhutan at Tetrastigma‎ lead me to Tetrastigma campylocarpum.

But it is not matching, particularly the thorns as per

POWO GBIF FLora of China FOC Illustration

Keys in Flora of Bhutan at Tetrastigma‎ also lead me to Tetrastigma dubium (Laws.) Planch.

But I think it is not matching as per POWO GBIF Catalogue of life

It also lead me to Tetrastigma bracteolatum, but I think it is not matching as per GBIF Specimen Specimen POWO Research Gate

I also tried with Tetrastigma planicaule (Hook. fil.) Gagnep. as per Keys as per efi thread of Flora of India, but did not match.
Closest I can go is Tetrastigma leucostaphylum (Dennst.) Alston ex Mabb. (which has 3 foliate as well as 5 foliate pedate leaves) only as per details and references herein and as per GBIF Specimen

ID request-280112-PKA1:
Came across this Climber en-route Prabalgad (Maharashtra).
Date/Time: 28-01-2012 / 10:45AM
Location: En-route Prabalgad
Habitat: Wild
Plant Habit: Climber.
(Climber was in fruiting stage, flowers not seen).

Family Menispermaceae. Please check species of Cayratia

I think looks different from Cayratia as leaves are not pedately compound.

I think appears close to Tetrastigma leucostaphylum (Dennst.) Alston ex Mabb. as per comparative images at Tetrastigma

Tetrastigma bracteolatum (Wall.) Planch.: 5 very high res. images.
