. Parthenocissus semicordata (Wall) Planch. 1811 (synonym: P. himalayana) is a creeper related to the grapevine family. It is a native plant of the Himalaya.[1] Its name is derived from Latin ‘corda’ meaning heart. P.semicordata can grow in pots or on slopes. It is propagated from seeds or cuttings.
P. semicordata is a vigorous climber. It grows three leaves. Like most of the species of Parthenocissus it uses suction cups to hold itself to walls or trees. It has small fruit which look like grapes and are dark blue, almost black when ripe.

SK693 02 AUG-2017:ID : 15 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3) Vitaceae? Yes, Vitaceae member In the absence of opened flower I guess it is Cayratia trifolia (L.)Domin Looks like matching with Cayratia thomsonii (M. A. Lawson) Suess. Please validate.
Does not match with images & illustration of Yua thomsonii var. thomsonii (syn. Cayratia thomsonii (M. A. Lawson) Suessenguth) at
Could it be Cayratia trifolia (L.) Domin ?? But elevation does not match.
Pl. check other Cayratia species available in efi at No match I guess ! Ok
Parthenocissus semicordata (Wall.) Planch. ??

Cayratia trifolia (L.) Domin ??
First impression is cayratia trifolia. Even fruits look like it ! in India we have an abundance of “benign” three leaved plants and trees. yes seems so, … is on right track. unlike the three leaved vines that are toxic, in the west I shall wait for fruits to ripen. . This wild creeper has draped our cedars and other trees in warm autumnal colours. What vine is this?

1750m Parthenocissus semicordata (Vitaceae). looks like Virginia creeper, but does not quite make it.
I am glad … knows the plant… no wonder looks different, this is the himalayan variety.. even the fall colors are different not just the leaf anatomy. Parthenocissus semicordata has become a menace in Devdar Forests these days. no wonder it did not quite fit the bill for virginnia creeper
I am glad to know it identity is different
