SK76AUG11-2016:ID : 6 posts by 2 authors. 6 correct images as above. Thanks, … Appears to be some climber. Isn’t it ? Yes! Could it be Smilax? Tetrastigma leucostaphylum ?? Pl. check with images at https://commons.wikimedia.Tetrastigma_leucostaphylum Here the leaves are 5 pedate but in the link provided the leaves are trifoliate (although some are 5 pedate). Hence I request you to kindly check the same with any authorised flora. I think similar plant with about three four images with pinkish fruit posted by you was identified as some Tetrastigma species. Pl. check. Pl. check with images at Tetrastigma serrulatum I guess there is mix up of two sp. in the post. First two images CSC_0782.JPG and DSC_0536.JPG belongs to Rhamnus napalensis (Wall.) M. A. Lawson and the remaining images belong to Tetrastigma serrulatum (Roxb.) Planch. Need your validation please ! Ok Image 4,5,6,7 and 8 Yua thomsonii (M.A.Lawson) C.L.Li ?? Syn : Cayratia thomsonii (M.A.Lawson) E.Reid & M.Chandler Looks different from Yua thomsonii as per http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration https://botanyphoto.botanicalgarden.parthenocissus-thomsonii/ See the leaf attachments. Leaves appears to be always 5 foliate. That takes me to T. serrulatum, if it is slender climber, as per Keys in Flora of Nepal OK …! It may be Tetrastigma aplinianum (Collett & Hemsl.) Momiyama if it is a robust climber as per keys in Flora of Nepal, as it appears to have unbranched tendrils with lax inflorescence. I also checked in Keys in Flora of Bhutan at Tetrastigma I guess you are right …! . MS March, 2020/23 Cayratia/Tetrastigma sp. ? for ID : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2) – around 850 kb each. Location : Ailawng, Mizoram Date : 16-07-2018 Habit : Climber Habitat : Wild With pedately 5 foliate leaves, there are three possibilities: Cissus elongata, Cayratia japonica and Tetrastigma Looks different from Cissus elongata as per images and details herein.
