Would this be Cissus elongata<\/i> ?<\/div>\n

… please let me know whether it is a Cissus<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n
Flowers look similar in structure & shape with those of Cissus woodrowii<\/i> (Woodrow’s Grape Tree) as per my attachment.
\nIt may be Cissus elongata<\/i> as per illustrations (I have not checked further details) at links:<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

many thanks for validating it to be Cissus<\/i> … waiting for Cissus<\/i>-familiar friends to point out the species.
\nJust in case some description would be of help — it is a herbaceous creeper, spreading rather laterally, most of them that I saw were about 2 metres long (or less), the palmate (penta-) leaves far-spaced, the flowers growing opposite to leaves.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

by now, I am believing the plant I posted to be C. elongata <\/i>… many thanks for your thoughts.<\/p>\n

Not much popular on internet or reference books, yet one characteristic feature is the palmate leaf … that is what I could find from whatever articles I read on WWW.<\/div>\n
The nearest Cissus<\/i> would be C. pedata<\/i> which has lobed leaf with deep sinuses.<\/div>\n
…………………………………<\/div>\n
\n
\n
…, please\u00a0let me know if\u00a0the plant that I posted at the beginning of this thread is<\/u> OR is not<\/u> Cyphostemma auriculatum<\/i>.<\/div>\n
(This plant found at Lion’s Point, Lonavala on 18 JUN 09).
\nFor convenience, I am attaching the photos once again to this message.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

I think this is not Cyphostemma auriculata<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

It’s Cissus<\/i> and very likely elongata<\/i>. Geography and date match is also good.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Yes, thanks very much … for digging this old query.
\nAgreed that this plant too is same as what we saw at Koraigad base.
\nWill revise my notes soon.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It looks like Cayratia pedata<\/i> [Vitis pentaphylla<\/i>]. Sending you a photogrph for comparison. Attachments (1).<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I\u00a0have gone through the literature and found this differences between these two close species of Cayratia<\/i>.
\nStem glabrous —-Cayratia tenuifolia<\/i>
\nStem pubescent and hairy—-C. pedata<\/i><\/span>
\n(ref: Cooke, Fl. Pres. Bombay1: 248 2006(repr.); Almeida, Fl. Maharashtra1: 265, 1996 )
\nbesides leaflets are 7-11 in C. pedata<\/i>.<\/span> so i doubt the plant in question is C. pedata<\/i>. i feel the characters of this plant are pointing more towards C. tenuifolia<\/i>. further research is needed.<\/p>\n

\n

I feel this is Cissus<\/i> sp. possibly elongata<\/i> and not Cayratia<\/i> sp. as the leaves are digitate \/ palmate and not pedate. No ear-shaped stipule either (to r\/o C. auriculata<\/i>).<\/p>\n

May be Leea Indica<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Seems species of Tetrastigma<\/i>. May be T. serrulatum<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Could this be a species of Cayratia<\/i>?<\/p>\n

\n
\n

I searched for vitaceae\/ leeaceae \u00a0member with 5-foliolate leaves
\nthe result showed me\u00a0Cayratia japonica<\/i> which is close to the species in the picture.
\nbut the occurrence of this species has to be taken into consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nPlease help find attached climber.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Location: Matheran, Maharashtra, Western Ghats.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Date: Mid December 2018<\/div>\n
Seems fruit was ripen with chocolate color.<\/div>\n
Must be LHP of some insect as eggs were laid on leaves.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Parthenocissus quinquefolia<\/i>? Please check<\/p>\n

\n

Please, did you take photos of the tendrils? If the plant is P. quincuefolia<\/i>\u00a0the tendrils should be highly branched with adhesive discs at tendril apices. The plant does occur in India. I have this plant and the adhesive discs stick quite successfully to any and all surfaces and are difficult to remove. Also, I believe most of the Parthenocissus have a blue-color fruit.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Did not notice tendrils with disc at apex. In first photo tendril is not very branched and seems curled at apex. In case next time see a climber, will picture tendril specially.
\nTried to match margin of\u00a0 leaflets of Parthenocissus quinquefolia<\/i> and Parthenocissus inserta<\/i>. Both species as per wiki photos has very prominent teeth while the plant i spotted does not have such prominent teeth on margin. Can we ignore this teeth difference? If we ignore margin, can we consider it as Parthenocissus inserta<\/i>?.\u00a0 This remind me spotting such climbers many years ago in Nasik district and North Maharashtra, but did not notice disc at tendril apex, marginal teeth were not such prominent,\u00a0 also fruits noticed were brown and not blue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
Can we look at Clematicsus opaca<\/i>? I can’t find information on the tendrils yet but the leaf is less toothed.
\nI am also looking at Cissus elongata<\/i> which definitely occurs in India. Thank you, I must get to work now. Will try again later.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Cissus elongata<\/i>, it’s quite common in Matheran & Lonavala area.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Yes matching to Cissus elongata<\/i>. Useful information … about distribution.<\/div>\n

This vine was seen next to a waterfall<\/span> in the Tamhini ghat near Pune, MH<\/span> in Aug 2019.<\/div>\n
Is it possible to ID.<\/div>\n
A friend pointed out that the position of the tendril is in an opposite position from the leaf, it could be some Passifloraceae<\/i>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Appears to be some <\/span>Vitaceae<\/i> member.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Yes, …, you’re right, Seems to Vitaceae<\/i>,
\nCould be Cayratia<\/i> sp. or Cyphostemma auriculatum<\/i>\u00a0(Roxb.) P.Singh & B.V.Shetty<\/span>,\u00a0<\/small><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Leaf pattern looks like T. serrulatum<\/i> also.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
what is T. serrulatum<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Tetrastigma serrulatum<\/i> ! Just look like !<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

reason I asked. when I searched just T. serrulatum<\/i>\u00a0bing images showed up some leaves but also creatures…. now the leaves may be matching but we need a taxonomist or two \u00a0to look carefully at this case<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Why not Merremia qinquefolia<\/i> ?<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Because the plant has leaf opposed tendril that’s why no way to Merremia<\/i>. Vitaceae<\/i> member only,<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
It might be Cissus elongata,<\/i><\/div>\n

\nCayratia tenuifolia (Wight & Arn.) Gagnep.<\/span><\/a> : 15 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (5).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

@ Koraigad, 09-08-2014 with …<\/div>\n
The 5 foliate leaves (-39), the short, conical stigma (-44), the 4 lobed disc and 4 merous flowers are clearly seen. The longer petiolule of the terminal leaflet (-39) is also appreciated. The leaf opposed tendril is also seen.
\nHowever, in my specimen the leaves are a bit broader (they are classically described as ‘lanceolate’). Plant was not fruiting.
\nThis species, I believe, has not been positively identified earlier and is not there in the eFI database (do not see it on FOI either).<\/div>\n
\n

In addition, the plant was glabrous.<\/p>\n

\n

this looks interesting.
\nDo you have more pictures of the leaves?\u00a0 I’d be interested to see the petiole and the underside of the leaflets if possible.<\/p>\n

\n

I am having some problems at my end and am unable to access the device on which I store images.
\nThe underside of the leaflets were glabrous (as was the rest of the plant).
\nPlease tell me which characteristic of\u00a0 the petiole you are looking for and I will choose the image which shows the characteristic clearly (will take a few days as we are going to be away from the city).<\/p>\n

\n

I looked this plant up in Talbot and it mentions the leaves being pedately 5-foliate so I just wanted to see that in a photo. (it would be distinct from digitately 5 foliate as in some other species such as Vitis elongata<\/i>)
\nNo hurry!\u00a0 Whenever you have time.<\/p>\n

Thanks … for discussing this plant. I remember sometime back … had posted similar plant.<\/p>\n

\n

I was with … at base of Koraigad near Ambavane.
\nLet me add a cropped version of one of my photo showing petiole partly and the stalks of leaflets; hope it helps.
\nI got to this post trying to find Cissus pedata<\/i> in our group’s database.<\/p>\n

Thanks for this picture, … It looks to me as if the petioles of the leaflets all arise from the same point so I’m not sure that would count as\u00a0 pedately 5-foliate. Another thing is that Talbot tells us that in C. tenuifolia the leaflets are st<\/div>\n

\nAnother thing is that Talbot tells us that in C. tenuifolia<\/i> the leaflets are strongly serrate-dentate<\/span> and here the serratures are bristle tipped but not so dentate.<\/span> It is supposed to be a “distinct species”
\nIt would be interesting to hear from experts on this genus.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thank You for re-cycling the post …
\nI had written to a couple of experts but have received no reply as yet.
\nAnother person who is an enthusiast and whom I respect felt it was Vitis pedata.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

My own view now is that this is Cissus elongata<\/i> (formerly Vitis elongata<\/i>), as suggested by …, for the following reasons:
\nLeaf is digitate \/ palmate and not pedate. In both Cayratia<\/i> (pedata<\/i> and tenuifolia<\/i>) leaves are pedate.
\nInflorescence is leaf opposed – this favors Cissus<\/i> sp.
\nPlant was glabrous, Vitis<\/i> \/ Cayratia pedata<\/i> is a hairy plant.
\nI have had a look at some other similar posts on the group and will share my views on the respective threads.
\n<\/span>Many thanks to … for their views and participation in the thread.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thank you very very much … for the analysis and reaching to ID. Many thanks to\u00a0… too.<\/p>\n

\n

I am not sure about the plant being Cissus elongata<\/i>. That plant often has trifoliate leaves as well and the young parts are often tinged with purple. I suppose it could be a variable species.
\nIt would be great if … could return to collect fruits for more confirmation.
\nThank you\u00a0… for posting this plant and for an interesting discussion.<\/p>\n
