IMG 9453 is not available!
As you doubted the genus Premna grows as if it is a branch of the host
tree. It would be apt to call strangler rather than climber! But
Gamble says it can be trees as well! (we have to be very careful I
guess). Now I remember I have seen Premna grows as tree in Waynad.
I hereby agree the identification of these pictures as Premna coriacea
and not Viburnum acuminatum as I earlier idied. Sorry for the
confusion.
I think, all members has to take notes while taking pictures itself
rather than remembering such important notes that might always result
in documenting mistakes. Making field notes would certainly give
precise data.

Giby
