Hi Rashida,   The photographs are not very clear but I would go with Cansjera rheedii - a scandent shrub. The 'thorns' you refer to are blunt branches that appear like thorns.                              Regards,                              Neil. --- On Sat, 6/27/09, rashida atthar <rashid...@hotmail.com> wrote: From: rashida atthar <rashid...@hotmail.com> Subject: [indiantreepix:13837] Climber ID please.

Thanks Neil for the validation.  with regards to the  thorns I had mentioned earlier actually they are stout spines which I clearly saw and also got a prick  with the pics taken on 25 June '09. Just to validate that I googled and in the Flora of Hyderabad by M. Sharfuddin Khan it is mentioned about Cansjera rheedii as "... a large pretty evergreen climbing shrub, armed with scattered stout spines....".  This also explains why we did not see the spines in the pics taken today.
 
regards,
Rashida.
