Iruppu Falls Coorg

Date: November 12, 2019 ... Altitude range: about 850 - 1,000 m (2,800 - 3,300 ft) asl

¿ Dioscorea sp. ?

Dear friends,
I am assuming the inflorescence seen in posted pictures belong to Dioscorea, and this is a very bad guess. There is a mix of many leaves - Dioscorea, Clematis / Naravelia and many others. The branched inflorescence also reminds me of moonseed family member - Diploclisia. I will be glad to know ID just to family level.

Regards.
Dinesh

In the first picture, a stem runs from bottom centre to top centre. There are 4 half folded leaves on the stem. They are Dioscorea leaves.

Here attached is the photo with red circles over the 4 leaves that I mentioned in earlier message, plus another 2 leaves on the stem bearing the inflorescence.

Inflorescence of posted plant resembles that of Dioscorea oppositifolia ... those familiar with Dioscorea spp. may please comment.

Regards.

Thanks Saroj ji. I clearly see that the leaves are alternately arranged. Not sure whether such variation occurs in D. oppositifolia.
