Could this be some Stephania from Menispermaceae.

It may be Parabaena sagittata (?) of Menispermaceae.

Thanks Pathak ji for the response. You may be right. I am not familiar with this sp.
Some leaves, espl. the middle one in the last picture (# 6534) looks close to the one here http://www.plant.csdb.cn/photo?creator=%E5%BC%A0%E9%87%91%E9%BE%99
I look forward to more comments...

Leaves appears rounded to shallowly cordate. sagittate leaves are characteristic of Parabaena.

Not agree with Parabaena sagittata!

Waiting for others to respond.

Best regards,
Ritesh.

I have uploaded similar plant (identified by us as Parabaena sagittata) from Manipur, in a separate thread. Please check and provide your comments.

I am not sure because key characters are missing in the pictures to run the key. But I tend to support Vijay's view on the basis of most of the Stephania leaves are peltate (http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=131433), whereas, Parabaena sagittata has cordate leaf base (http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=123833)

Agreed with Dr. Vijayshankar's ID. This is Parabaena sagittata (Menispermaceae). Also got confirmation from a friend from China who is working on Menispermaceae. 

Links for comparison:

Thanks Vijay anna once again for solving the ID.

Best regards,
Ritesh.
