Requesting to please ID this climber captured at SGNP, Mumbai in September 2013.
Unfortunately, this is the only pic I have, is this enough to ID?

This could be a Dioscorea sp. (note the venation). But its is still a guess.


Agree. This looks like Dioscorea hispida. Please check these links


Thank you … for ID and reference links…
