Might it be Zehneria sp?


I also have this unidentified. This does not look like Zehneria.

Seems Mikania scandens (L.) Wild.??? Popularly known as Climbing hempvine.

I think it is not.


Solena species?? because roots tuberous


Have not seen this sp. with purple color beneath the leaf.
I guess only one sp., Solena heterophylla  subsp. heterophylla is recorded.

No guess from my side !


In my opinion it is Mikania genus, most probably M.micrantha Kunth. It is an introduced species.


The elevation range of this sp. is 700-1200 m. only, so it cannot be M. micrantha.
OK.


Does the back side of M. micrantha have such purplish tinge ?


No … and the elevation is too high.
