¿ Reissantia grahamii (Wight) Ding Hou ? Kalsubai Harishchandragad WLS :: Apr 6, 2026 · 9:47 AM IST
Kothale, Akole, Ahilyanagar, average altitude 600 m asl On which character are you relying for id of this? My guess is based purely on the familiar pattern of the scrambling shrub. The long, wiry green stems and equally slender branchlets, looping in a chaotic pattern, remind me of Reissantia. The relatively distant spacing between branches also adds to the familiar sight. Now, when I look at the photos again, the species seems more likely to be R. indica. I hope my identification is correct. Yes, possible. But not sure.
