This is from Rajnagar, Kumarghat, Tripura
Only fruits are available and leaves are not seen but my collector says, there is spine in the stem.
Here is a picture of the underground tuber is attached
Please identify
I guess correct ID. Leaves look different from images at Dioscorea hispida I am not seeing any pictures of leaves in this post. I am saying in context of your comment “Leaves look different …”. No leaf, no flower, fruit also doesn’t match with dioscorea hispida Any match ?
