Hi,


Cissampelos pareira and Stephania japonica belong to the family
Menispermaceae
Both species are dioecious.

In Stephania leaves are glabrous as are the stem as well
In Cissampelos leaves and stem tomentose
In Stephania the petiole (leaf stalk) joins the leaf away from the
edge / conspicuously peltate (resembles Cyclea peltata) generally
triangular-rotund.
In Cissampelos the petiole joins the leaf close to the edge

In Stephania flowers arranged in stalked umbellate cymes
In Cissampelos Male inflorescences axillary, solitary or few
fascicled, corymbose cymes and pubescent whereas, female
inflorescences thyrsoid, narrow

Some useful Links:
Stephania japonica

Excellent. Such clarifications/ explanation are indeed very useful for
identification of the species. Many who do not have access to floras
are benefitted. I stand to gain. Thanks to Smilax ji .
