My earlier record was from 24-Parganas. This time I see it just 50m away from my front gate! I wondered where are the petals of these flowers as shown in other posts in the group?

Naravelia differs from Clematis in having petals+sepals and having its terminal leaflet modified into tendril. Ranunculaceae Fortnight :: Naravelia zeylanica :: Rajgad :: ARKJAN-11/43 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5)
Attached are pictures of Naravelia zeylanica captured at Rajgad in December 2014.
Requested to please validate the ID. Good post. Thank you for the appreciation…
I had posted it on the Face book Indian Flora group and … had suggested a tentative ID….. further googling indicated a good likeness.
While posting it here too, I have requested for ID validation….hopefully it is N. zeylanica I am not doubting the ID. Just trying to find out whether any character is visible in the images for confirmation. Achenes of both look similar to me. Facebook group doesn’t appear to be that serious presently. Often I have seen 50% wrong IDs in the thread. . Jan2015sk27 Ranunculaceae Fortnight sk03 Naravelia zeylanica (L.) DC. at CKBS : 9 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2)
I saw this climber for the first time in CKBS, South24Pgs, in December 2013. …
And this is my last upload for this fortnight. We have some more form the family, but distributed in other regions than the central Bengal. Yes, Didi, ‘Bengal Plants’ lists it, Bengali name as ছাগলবাটি , but if you want to see this vine in CKBS you will have to get down into a ditch out there. Same question. Any character by which you know that it is Naravelia achene rather than a clematis? The KEY in ‘Bengal Plants’ goes-
(i) petals 0; petiole not produced as a tendril = Clematis
(ii) petals many; petiole produced as a temdril – Naravelia
Of-course the above KEY is based on the distribution in Greater Bengal, and none of the Clematis species listed in the book can be found in this region of Bengal. I didn’t see the petals, but leaf tendril has been recorded in my earlier post – efi thread. Furthermore, Sir Prain explains, “petiole (in Clematis) sometimes twining but not produced as a tendril.” Yes but can you make it out here? Just a curiosity…… …, not in this thread certainly, but more pictures of the same individual can be viewed in an earlier thread, please check the 1st and 3rd pictures.

Awesome! I also visited Vithiri (Wayanad) for 4 days during October and came across several plants you have posted. This is one among them. This is an important medicinal plant. “Ceylon Clematis” used in Ayurveda. Brief info on its use : so a clematis with green succulent looking petals for a flower and leaves reminiscent of paan, peppers etc. never seen these. thanks … for the case and thanks … for the information.

ଚଂଗୁଲ ବତୀ, ଗଣମାରି in the dist of Kalahandi people.
Thank you very much.
I tried Google searching the words ଚଂଗୁଲ ବତୀ … there are simply no results, especially ଚଂଗୁଲ
Perhaps ଚଂଗୁଲ ବତୀ could be ଛଗଳ ବତୀ chhagala bati
ছাগল বাটি chagala bati, is the name in Bengali, for this plant,
ছাগল chagala = a he-goat (with curling horns); বাতি bati = horns … refers to achenes / follicles, alluding to curled horns of a he-goat
I tried Google searching the word: ଗଣମାରି … there are simply no results.
I think ଗଣମାରି is spelled in English as ganamari … does it have any meaning ?
Sir during my PhD work I came across the species and from the local inhabitants I know the Local name particularly in Kandhamal and Kalahandi dist.of odisha. According to the odia language Bati means wick cotton thread and changul means destractive some where. Okay, thanks very very much, …, for help with the Odia names for this plant.
Strangely, all the languages listed below, though having similar names, their meanings are different.
Bengali (ছাগল বাটি chagala bati)
Assamese (চাগল লতি chagal lati)
