Looks different from Trichosanthes nervifolia L. (syn: Trichosanthes cuspidata Lam.) as per GBIF.

It should be Trichosanthes bracteata (Lam.) Voigt (syn: Trichosanthes palmata Roxb., Fl. Ind. 3: 704. 1832, nom. illeg., non L., Syst. Nat. 2: 1278. 1759; J. Graham, Cat. Pl.

T. tricuspidata Lour. var. strigosa Sunit Mitra & S. Bandyop., J. Bombay. Nat. Hist. Soc. 95: 374. 1998. T. tricuspidata auct. non Lour. 1790: C.J. Saldanha & M.S.E. Rao in C.J. Saldanha, Fl.

Revision of the Trichosanthes tricuspidata – bracteata complex (Cucurbitaceae) in India- Savita Pandey, T.S. Rana and K.N. Nair- Rheedea Vol. 26 (2) 83-93 2016 (Abstract- The correct identity and occurrence of Trichosanthes tricuspidata Lour. and T. bracteata (Lam.) Voigt in India have been revisited based on herbarium and field studies. The study concludes that T. tricuspidata and T. bracteata are two distinct species and the former does not occur in India. All the mainland Indian materials previously identified and reported as T. tricuspidata or T. palmata Roxb., belong to T. bracteata, and earlier reports of T. tricuspidata in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands represent T. quinquangulata A. Gray. A detailed description with illustrations and photographs of T. bracteata is provided for facilitating identification of the taxon).
