Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please. Some earlier relevant feedback: I am not satisfied at what I am going to suggest, but I have no alternative, you may check probability of *Vitis neilgherrensis* Wight <http://www.plantillustrations.org/species.php?id_species=1068242>, which is synonymous with *Vitis himalayana* Brand., in FBI, <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/v/vitaceae/parthenocissus/parthenocissus-semicordata> but does carry some difference. Thank you Regards surajit
Thank you very much Surajit ji. Being not so familiar with *Cissus* / *Vitis* of south India, my attempts to ID would be weaker than guesses. *Vitis neilgherrensis* does look like a good possibility. Radha's thoughts were *Cissus* ¿ *carnosa* / *trifoliata* ? I am yet to check on them. Regards. Dinesh *Vitis carnosa* of FBI falls under the sector which have stems and leaves usually fleshy. *Cissus carnosa* of Flora Indica has flattened stem, leaflets oval glossy serrate..... etc. Please check FBI and FI details. Relevant literature attached herewith. If the illustrations at http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=123032 looks similar to your plant, please note the fruits in the same illustration. Thank you Regards surajit I further clarify why I am not satisfied with *Vitis himalayana*, I have suggested so far. FBI says the plant is glabrous what is not your species. But at the same time var. *semicordata* from Himalaya <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242336015> is hispidly pubescent. Thank you Regards Surajit I'm not at all happy with C.carnosa but feeling quite at a loss with this id. Looking through Matthew's Flora of TN Carnatic I came across Ampelocissus araneosa, whose leaves look quite similar. Descriptions do not match entirely. See what you think. Vitaceae members do display variation! regards Radha ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dinesh Valke <dinesh.va...@gmail.com> Date: 24 January 2015 at 14:14 Subject: [efloraofindia:213906] Agumbe :: Cissus repanda FOR VALIDATION / ID :: DVJAN65 To: efloraofindia <indiantreepix@googlegroups.com> [image: ...
