Dioscorea pentaphylla L. ?

Dioscorea wd. be my guess too. 

one of the rangaloo but be careful of toxic alkaloids identified a century ago. follow rules set by the local tribals

What are the species of Dioscorea reported from your area ?

May I request you to post the leaves etc. for determination of the species ?

Sorry sir, I don’t have the pictures of leaves and flower.

Yes, Dioscorea pentaphylla L. is possible (as earlier suggested by …) as per images of tubers herein.
