Hi, Bubai ji,

I could find the keys at Key Base as below:

1Leaves palmately lobed to palmately compound with up to 7 lobes or leaflets 2

1Leaves simple, entire, toothed, pinnately lobed or hastate, neither palmately lobed nor compound 7

2Leaves palmately lobed to near the base but not palmately compound; leaflets 3–7 3

2Leaves palmately compound with 3–5 leaflets4

3Plant hairy; leaf lobes coarsely dentate to irregularly pinnately lobed; corolla white with a rose to purple throat, 3–4.5 cm long Merremia dissecta

3Plant glabrous; leaf lobes entire; corolla yellow, 5–6 cm long Merremia tuberosa

4Peduncles glandular in the upper part, sometimes mixed with spreading hairs; sepals at flowering 3–8 mm long; corolla to 2.5 cm long Merremia quinquefolia

4Peduncles glabrous or hairy, but not glandular; sepals longer, 7.5–25 mm long; corolla 2.5–5 cm long 5

5Leaflets 3, outer leaflets with a secondary lobe, so appearing 5, leaflets undulate to occasionally toothed; sepals glabrous, 12–15 mm long, sub- equal, acute Merremia kimberleyensis

5Leaflets 5, entire 6

6Outer sepals glabrous, 7–10 mm long, obtuse, much shorter than the inner; corolla 3–5 cm long Merremia quinata

6Outer sepals patently hirsute, 12–25 mm long, acute or acuminate, slightly longer than the inner; corolla 2–3.5 cm long Merremia aegyptia

Pl. check.

I find the posted images to be different from images at Merremia quinquefolia

To get further clarity, I went through GBIF specimens of both species.

For  Merremia quinata

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=5548936

https://api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kew.org%2Fherbcatimg%2F713363.jpg

For Merremia quinquefolia

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=5341739

https://api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/http%3A%2F%2Fn2t.net%2Fark%3A%2F65665%2Fm3f96f8b81-ab72-4d61-8b1e-9814e04fc9f5

From the above, I feel posted plant should be of Merremia quinata
