Dear everyone,
Please help me to identify this climber. It has thick leaves (secondary thickening); leaves semi-succulent and have mucronate apex.
I got this in an area adjacent to a lake , 90km south of Chennai.

Probably Pentatropis capensis.

Whether leaves also have secondary thickening?!

Yes sir, the leaves had secondary thickening; and it is semi-brittle. Less watery exeduates.
