"Special characters: This plant appears similar to Tinospora cordifolia in all aspects but distinctly differs in having dense hairs covering all plant parts. Stems have prominent white dot-like structures called lenticels. Fruits are attractive orange-red.'

I assume hairs are present on leaves of sinensis and not on
cordifolia.

Both species are found in many parts of India..
T. sinensis leaves are hairy as well as bigger in size compare to those of T. glabra

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.

Some earlier relevant feedback:

- pls validate Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers Synonym
Menispermum cordifolium Willd.

   However eflora of Pakistan shows  Tinospora cordifolia auct. non (DC). Miers: Hook f. & Thoms.  as synonym of Tinospora malabarica Miers. And not mentioning Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers and Tinospora malabarica (Lam.) Hook. f. & Thomson is a synonym of Tinospora sinensis (Lour.) Merr. in theplantlist.org

'auct. non' means not of the author. Literally meaning, not of the
original author but the plant was designated as Tinospora cordifolia.

So in a layman's word
Tinospora cordifolia is the original plant
Tinospora cordifolia auct. non is named as such but is not of the same
author as above and is a different species which has been named as
Tinospora malabarica.

Tinospora malabarica is now Tinospora sinensis by the way.
