Tetrastigma serrulatum v ar. serrulatum ABJAN01/06 : 3 posts by 2 authors. 7 images.
For a long time I have assumed it to be the Virginia Creeper but while looking at a sample I collected today, I had my doubts. I looked around and found that the vine here could be Vitis capreolata (p.94, Col. Collett Flora Simlensis) which is a synonym of the accepted name Tetrastigma serrulatum. I could not find either illustrations or photos for this species which is strange as it is very common vine around here, but I did find Kew sample and another collection here;
The sample in the second link is collected from Mcleodganj only so if that ID is correct, we have a good indicator.
My earlier ID Parthenocissus quinquefolia seems incorrect and is not mentioned in any of the local flora books I have. Please advise.

Yesterday while looking at this liana closely for flowers, I was delighted to spot some. They are not out on most plants yet (or are gone already but I doubt it). Here are a couple of photographs.

Thank you … once again. Is this vine common around Shimla too?

In my previous posts about this creeper, it was suggested by … that it could be Virginia Creeper. Now the vine has fruits on it and I am posting here again for confirmation. The second picture is a crop of the first one.

i still think its virginnia creeper and not himalayan creeper which is what came to mind first, back when you showed it..
the himalayan creeper seems to have three leaflets and virginnia creeper mostly five…
nice unripe fruits, slowly turning grey to black..
birds love them

Thank you … We have Himalayan Creeper (Woodbine) too in flower and I will post some images soon.


An update: The berries on this Virginia Creeper are mostly ripe making it the food of choice for many birds especially the Yellow-billed Blue Magpie. Most vines are now laden with fruit.

This seems to be either Cayratia or Tetrastigma sp.

Pointers are pedate leaves and a compound (axillary) dichasium.
Was it a shrub or a liana?


As per another thread, The two seem to be similar.


Is it Tetrastigma serrulatum (Roxb.) Planch. (accepted name) ??


I think so. Have worked on the original (posted) images and the edited versions are attached.
Hope it helps.

Sharing some pictures for ID shot at Tarakeshwor, Nepal on 27 August 2016 at 6000 ft.

This does not “ring any bells” as to possible identity.
As mentioned previously my familiarity with sub-tropical flora in Nepal is strictly limited – I recognise a few things but often not. 


First impression: Cayratia sp. preferred over Cissus sp. or something close to it.

Please compare with SK273DEC26-2016:ID.
The two seem to be similar.


I am not sure. Hence, unable to confirm.


I guess T. serrulatum have dark purple fruit when ripe. I have not seen fruit color as in the images for this sp.


I will go with Tetrastigma serrulatum as per keys in Online flora of Nepal, with these images.


Only confusion is fruit colors !

spectacular leaf venation, and denticles pictures

Thank you …! Is it matching?


I think this is something different. In none of the images I checked, leaf venation is so contrasting. Inflorescence also looks different. Habit image is missing:

I think something similar has been posted by … earlier.


May be Tetrastigma serrulatum as per comparative images at Tetrastigma


Thank you … Looks like changes in environment is causing vast difference in the flowering phenology.

Tetrastigma ?


Cayratia auriculata,


Looks different from images at Cayratia auriculata


Maybe Tetrastigma serrulatum (Roxb.) Planch., as leaves are pedately compound.

What are the keys?



I think id is OK as Tetrastigma serrulatum (Roxb.) Planch.
