please find the images of Aspidopterys indica taken from ranpur. Please validate.

Not aware of the species so can’t validate though. Flowers will be useful in confirming it.

i dont have the images of the flowers since there was no flowering when i collected the specimen. May be i wl collect the flower in the next visits.

I think matches with images in another thread by …

The images I have uploaded are flowering branches of Aspidopterys indica; I collected the flowers and fruits from same plant at a guest house in forest.

Had posted photographs of this climber flowering at my farm a few days ago and it was identified by … It was fruiting yesterday (11.1.10). Sending a few photographs

I think it’s Aspidopterys cordata only as per my earlier thread

Thank you … for confirming the ID. It matches well with the link ID.

May be Bauhinia vahlii. Climber from Bauhinia having bigger leaf size.

Thank you … for you comments but the climber in question does not have 2-lobed leaves as is seen in most Bauhinias.

Here is some from me. Leaves are quite similar.
