MS/2023/135 – ID of the plant.: 2 images.
I am forwarding herewith the photos of a climber photographed in a forest area in Tamil Nadu recently by a friend. Please ID the plant.


For me it is a Clematis species.


I guess it is close to Clematis smilacifolia Wall.


For me it looks species Id is also correct.


What about https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/15/clematis-heynei/?


Also it is not clear if the leaves are trifoliate or simple.


I guess it is simple leaf !


The person who sent the pictures has no other photographs. Hence it is difficult for me to judge the species. I  m depending on you both for a final ID.


In view, I think it is better to leave it unidentified. Flower images are required with clarity on the leaves.
