I hope Cyclanthera pedata, but a better view of leaves is needed.

|I found this flower at Kareri lake at about 3200m. I could not find another growing in the vicinity and concluded that it perhaps grew higher up and 3200m was just the lower range of it.

The leaves had fine teeth which are not clearly visible in the photos as the edges were curled downwards. A single flower grew on a stem at the junction where the two leaves met. It had no aroma.

I do not know what it is and will appreciate your advice. Please help.

Thanks, … I myself have photographed this plant. But it is very difficult to recall the name from the distant memory, particularly for non- botanists.

I think this should be Sinopodophyllum hexandrum, a rare and significant medicinal plant… great find …!!

Thanks, … I also think so.

Thanks once again … I was glad to have found it and look forward to seeing more plants to have a better understanding.
