… my guess Zehneria … could be Z. scabra.

Please check with Corallocarpus epigaeus (Rottl. & Willd.) Clarke

Syn: Bryonia epigaea Rottl. & Willd.

… to me, you are on the dot !

Thanks … for the lead, it is indeed Corallocarpus epigaeus (Rottl. & Willd.) Clarke as suggested by you. The sp. epithet is alluring to large tuberous roots.

Wild Creeper for ID : Oman : 201112 : AK-2: Found this creeper growing wild on a mountain slope in Muscat.

Pictures taken on 4/10/12 and 16/11/12.
During recent visit to the same place, I could notice tiny fruits pointed at one end.
I seem to have missed the flowers.
Looks like a Cucumis species?

Very interesting species !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try with the Coralocarpus genus of Cucurbitaceae.

After clues given by you, I could find only one picture on searching, leaves & fruit which look similar to my pictures.
Corallocarpus mendesii.
Experts kindly help!!

This climber of mine has been identified by … of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew as Corallocarpus epigaeus.

Does not seem to match with images at Corallocarpus epigaeus (Rottler) C.B.Clarke

C.epigeous

Thanks, … But the other images at Corallocarpus epigaeus (Rottler) C.B.Clarke look different.

You may send pics of flowers and ask the Botanist to send salient features and locality, time of collection, etc.
As per pics and my observations/opinion it is C.epigaeus.
