Fwd: submission of Pentatropis capensis images : 4 posts by 2 authors. 4 images- 743 kb, 3, 3 & 4 mb. here are the high resolution images Thanks … for sharing the pictures. Yes, the long as well as opened calyx serves as a good visual differentiator from the species capensis.
ID please – indiantreepix | Google Groups : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2) Please help me to identify this climber. It has thick leaves (secondary thickening); leaves semi-succulent and have mucronate apex.
I got this in an area adjacent to a lake, 90km south of Chennai.
Date: 07 November 2009 Probably Pentatropis capensis. Whether leaves also have secondary thickening?! Yes sir, the leaves had secondary thickening; and it is semi-brittle. Less watery exeduates.

Date: 14.09.2013
Location: Manapakkam, Chennai
Habitat: UIrban (Along the Adyar river bank ) Habit: Climber This could be a species of Tylophora possibly T.indica [T.asthmatica]. Please check this link : efi thread Thanks …, But leaves are broadly oblong. To me it looks Pentatropis This may be Pentatropis capensis as per images and details herein.
Leaves only but distinctive – ID possible ? – GE04102014-3 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1).
Seen in the Chennai outskirts, wild.
This is a slender twining glabrous climber, only the leaves were seen, they have a cordate base very narrow sinus and apex is mucronate.
Veins almost not visible except central, leaves held outward stiffly.
No flowers or fruit in August. Again I’m sorry no better images are available.
Perhaps this Pentatropis, but I have not seen that plant before.
Can it be given an ID to some degree of certainty ?
Thanks for any suggestions
Posted pictures are too small to see any details. Yes, they are low resolution and blurred. I thought it is a milkweed climber, (glabrous plant, cordate opposite leaves) The leaves have a very narrow sinus, thinly leathery and held out at very typical angles like solar panels.
My best guess, Toxocarpus.
But it may not be possible to state definitely.
