Please help to identify this climber flowering & fruiting in Silonda Trail at SGNP (Borivali National Park), Mumbai in wild. Leaves were not seen and the pictures has been taken today (9.4.13). Looks like some Vitaceae sp. (Cissus sp..) ? By now there may be a few leaves which would help in identification. It is most likely a Cissus sp. Today (24.4.13) I took the pictures (3) of the climber with leaves, flowers & fruit……not many leaves are seen still……but its st flowering & fruiting profusely.
I hope these pictures will help to identify this plant……..the plant is in Silonda Trail of SGNP, Mumbai. … my guess: the wavy-leaved cissus, Cissus repanda. Affirmative.

ID please … (family: ?) Dear friends, I have no clue about this large climber with cordate leaf. Also not sure of the tree with compound leaf. The cordate leaf could be about 12 – 15 cm across. Bhimbetka Rock Shelters, a world heritage site, is famous for its rock paintings. The place is known to be one of the most primitive dwellings of human race. All of the rock shelters are located within the territory of Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary. This looks like Ghendal [Cissus repanda].

Need help for Identification
Habitat: Dry Scrub Forest
Place: Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh
Date: 25 August 2019.
Yes Cissus woodrowii. thank you … Taking this as Cissus arnottiana B.V.Shetty & Par.Singh (as it has tendrils, which are not there in Cissus woodrowii (Stapf ex Cooke) Santapau) and as per discussions at Plant ID. and high resolution specimens at GBIF– one, two, three, four and five
You’re right …, woodrowii hasn’t tendrils but arnottiana has simple tendrils, not forked…. I hope this plant is repanda only, Thanks, … I agree with you. Would this be Cissus woodrowii ?
Place: Peddamandyam mandal, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh.
Date: 27 JUL 16 Wonderful images, … Pl. check with images at Cissus woodrowii I think matches with images at Cissus woodrowii I guess … is right ! Rather it may be Cissus repanda Vahl due to forked tendrils, which are simple in Cissus arnottiana B.V.Shetty & Par.Singh Yes, it’s repanda …, very happy to see this post from my native, the stem of the plant looks more similar to C. woodrowii.

Kindly identify this creeper growing out of rocky terrain, with reddish branches, palmate leaves and minute red/ yellow flowers photographed near Madanapalle, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh in February 2017. Cissus or other genera of Vitaceae? This appears to be Cissus repanda (Wight & Arn.) Vahl [Vitaceae]. What would you say about this ?
Can it be Cissus woodrowii (Stapf ex Cooke) Santapau as I do not see any tendrils ? I guess matching ! It could be repanda because the plant seems Straggling shrub, tendrils some times deciduous… Ok. … Climber for Identification. : 7 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1)
Requesting you to please identify this woody climber in the dry deciduous forest of central India.
I am observing this climber since 3 years but unable to see the flowers and fruits, I don’t know what is the reason but I haven’t seen them. The population is also stable and quite common.
It is a left handed twining climber. Rest can be observed in the photograph.
I am having doubt on being a Vitaceae member.
Please help.
Causonis trifolia and Cissus repanda
A beautiful Climber / Vine hanging from top of a tall tree and protruding into the river stream.
Jaipur forest, Assam, 18th July 10
The heart shaped leaves appeared to grow from the vine, young one’s – pale green or red color, turns green later.
.. Any Menispermacean…? wild guess… Yes, could be Anamirta cocculus or its allied.
Looks like Anamirta cocculus but I am not sure Looks like Byttneria grandifolia DC. to me but cant confirm in absence of flowers/fruits. So many guesses, but you all missed one orchid and multiple ferns there. There is a Cymbidium with strap shaped leaves in the back, can There are most probably Aspleniums too on the last pic.

yelaekambulla balli – ಎಲೆಕಂಬುಳ್ಳ ಬಳ್ಳಿ
elekombu balli – ಎಲೆಕೊಂಬು ಬಳ್ಳಿ
kallu narande – ಕಲ್ಲು ನರಂಡೆ
mudi balli – ಮುಡಿ ಬಳ್ಳಿ
I used another reference (Latin and Kannada names of indigenous and medicinal plants of Mysore by S G Narsimhachar), and cross-referred other species of Cissus.
I went through in detail. In my view Kannada name “yelaekambulla balli – ಎಲೆಕಂಬುಳ್ಳ ಬಳ್ಳಿ” is not convincing though some references provide this name. Other names are O.K. It is a modified (not so accurate) version of ಎಲೆಕೊಂಬು ಬಳ್ಳಿ which is correct. Here kombu refers to horns. In my view you may avoid this. Nevertheless, it is upto you to keep this name or not. Thank you very very much, …
I will remove that ambiguous name “yelaekambulla balli – ಎಲೆಕಂಬುಳ್ಳ ಬಳ್ಳಿ” to avoid any confusion.
Will update shortly.
