Yes Giby, I too thought of Menispermaceae by looking at the aerial roots and absence (?) of tendrils. But it also resembles Vitaceae (Vitis, perhaps) in inflorescence and also by having spine-like projections along leaf-margins, a feature often seen in Vitaceae. But I don't think it is Boraginaceae (Cordia) as i don't know any climber in the genus.
Let's keep exploring.
