As per efi thread<\/a> : Cissampelos pareira<\/i> and Stephania japonica<\/i> belong to the family Menispermaceae<\/i>
\nBoth species are dioecious.<\/span><\/div>\n
In Stephania<\/b> leaves are glabrous as are the stem as well
\n<\/span>In Cissampelos<\/b> leaves and stem tomentose
\n<\/span>In Stephania<\/i> the petiole (leaf stalk) joins the leaf away from the edge \/ conspicuously peltate (resembles Cyclea peltata<\/i>) generally triangular-rotund.
\n<\/span>In Cissampelos<\/i> the petiole joins the leaf close to the edge<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
In Stephania<\/i> flowers arranged in stalked umbellate cymes<\/span>
\n<\/span>In Cissampelos<\/i> Male inflorescences axillary, solitary or few fascicled, corymbose cymes and pubescent whereas, female inflorescences thyrsoid, narrow<\/span><\/div>\n

Possibly those are persistent bracteoles, it may not be spines!<\/p>\n

\n

it resembles to Diploclisia glaucescons<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Its a Menispermaceae<\/i> climber, it could be Cyclea peltata<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

It is Cyclea peltata<\/i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\n

could you give us an idea of the size of the largest fruits? Just a ball park figure? Also, it looks like a woody liana, is that right? Or is it a herbaceous twiner?
\nTo me it looks more like Diploclisia<\/i>, but please give your inputs.<\/p>\n

\n

This looks like Menispermaceae<\/i> member<\/p>\n

\n

I was with\u00a0… at Agumbe.
\nI remember them to be very small – largest of them could be about max 3 mm<\/span>. … please correct me if I am mistaking.
\nNow that I got the hint of <\/span>Cyclea peltata,<\/i> I remember having seen similar sight couple of times –<\/span> the fruits were then almost white in colour – perhaps ripened<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Ma’am, it was a herbaceous twiner<\/span> as I remember it and I agree with … regarding the size of the fruits.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks …, it must be Cyclea<\/i> sp. in that case!<\/p>\n

\n
\n

I feel more closer to images at Stephania japonica <\/i>(Thunb.) Miers<\/span><\/a>\u00a0rather than those of Cyclea peltata<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Could be Cyclea peltata<\/i>.<\/div>\n

I guess it is not matching since drupes are white in C. peltata<\/i><\/p>\n

and it is not listed in Nepal.<\/div>\n
May be S. japonica<\/i> ?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

May be as per images at
