Creeper for ID : 101011 : AK-2:
These pictures taken at Nasik, Maharashtra on the 19th of Sept,11.
Creeper growing wild on a fence having tiny fruits resembling Ficus fruits.

Is this Bush Grape or Cayratia trifolia? Looks similar to your picture on FOI.
Kindly confirm.


Yes Cayratia trifolia; earlierVitis trifolia :: Vitaceae Grape family


Two different plants are seen in the photographs. The flowering climber in the first photograph is definitely a species of Cayratia, but the climber in question with the ‘fig-like’ fruit is a different plant.


Could it be Securinega virosa ?


… looks a good possibility, …
But the concern is the fruits look tender; does Securinega virosa this late ? Query because I am not familiar.


Flowering & fruiting generally occurs between June & December.


Yes, the first pic belongs to Cayratia trifolia and the second one to Flueggea microcarpa (Euphorbiaceae)


Your sharp eye caught the difference!
Pictures were taken very close by, and frankly I had presumed them to be fruits of the first creeper.
Thanks for spotting the difference.
Are Securinega virosa and Fluggea microcarpa syn?

Cayratia trifolia from Chennai with Flower and fruit : AS-18Oct2012:
Sharing images of Cayratia trifolia photographed in the outskirts of Chennai in early October. Seems to be an aggressive creeper meriting its common name of 3-leaf Bushkiller.
Can someone tell me if :

  • the four fleshy white parts of flower are sepals or petals ?
  • The ripe fruit was full of purple juice, is it edible or toxic ?

The last image is that of another Vitaceae species, Ampelopsis ( Porcelain berry) , with brilliant blue berries turning dark purple. Originally imported to the USA as an ornamental vine, it is distributed widely by birds and is now a rampant invasive in the forests and parks of Northeastern USA

Thanks for the lead …
The leaves are trifoliate and not lobed.
On detailed searching of the picture and references can this be Cissus reticulata a climber?
The description fairly matches with the shown plant.


Caryatia carnosa ????????????? (plz check spelling)


But for villous surface of leaflets, I wd have said Cayratia trifolia


I too agree with …, but now Causonis trifolia (L.) Mabb. & J.Wen,
