Thank you very much Balkar ji for the probable ID.
This plant is illustrated as Stephania glabra in Keshava Murthy's VoF book -- we have another query pending at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/3LeKrigcabs/CyCUiDmJr3UJ

Thank you very very much, Balkar ji for putting the descriptions.
The description suits the posted plant very well.
Also found the herbarium at RBC Kew ... http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K000644575
Considering this plant to be Stephania gracilenta.
Regards.

Staphania glabra anyway has greenish yellow flowers. This one agrees very well with Stephania gracilenta.
