Mr J M Garg.I sent a message to Tofi and he said, yes, it is permissible to post the photos publicly on the efloraofindia site:

He said:

"Surely I will be more than happy if you or any of your friend could post that pictures to solve the ID, feel free to spread the images.
The vine is located on a road construction site, so I really wish to identify it, if it is a rare plant that I should try to relocate it to a safe area, or try to propagate some to save it since I am afraid it will be destroyed. as you might know, not many of the people are concerned with the wild plants in my area."

Thank you and thanks to all the other botanists and plant enthusiasts who may help to identify this vine.

Hello Mr J M Garg,
Please, I do not want to post the photos publicly as they do not belong to me.

The plant site formerly known as All Things Plants, now known as The National Gardening Association (NGA), has members from all over the world.

One of our newer members is named 'tofi' who lives in Sumatera, Indonesia. He posted several images of a vining plant growing wild in the Sumatran highland rainforest, bearing pink fruit with white flesh and a single seed. He describes the plant as a tropical vine with tendrils, leaves simple with toothed margin, fruits approximately 2-2,5 cm, the seed 1,5 x 1 cm.

Can you please assist to identify this plant for 'tofi'.
And if you are able to identify, may I have permission to post the answer on the NGA plant site. Thank you in advance.

Thank you,
Mary
