The fruits remind me of a Pavetta sp. [Rubiaceae].

However, the plant with peltate leaves appears to be Stephania japonica (Thunb.) Miers [Menispermaceae]. A few rain-soaked flowers of this climber are visible in the top portion of IMG_5651.JPEG.

Best wishes, Viplav

I'm afraid the climber in this post does not look like Cyclea to me. On close observation, the axillary umbel indicative of Stephania can be discerned in one of the photographs.

Best wishes, Viplav

Thanks Viplav ji for the feedback.

On going through the efi pics for Stephania japonica, the fruit images do not match.

As mentioned in my first email, the fruits appear to be of a Pavetta sp. [Rubiaceae]. There are multiple plants in your images, one of them being Stephania japonica (Thunb.) Miers [Menispermaceae].

Best wishes, Viplav

Thanks Viplav ji.

I have another pic only of the leaves clicked just before these ones, and I think they may belong to some Pavetta.

Similar leaves are also seen in the above pics.
Will this pic help?

Thanks and regards

Pavetta leaves for sure. Most likely Pavetta crassicaulis Bremek. On close observation, several black dots (bacterial nodules that are known to occur in Pavetta spp.) can be seen scattered on the surface of the leaves in this photograph.

Best wishes, Viplav
