Dear All,

I hope you can help me identify my plant photographs. 
It is a climber with very long (>10 m) aerial roots hanging like reddish threads. It is found on the edge of River Banjaran in Purwokerto Central Java Indonesia.  Thank you.

Yours Sincerely

I too doubt whether this is a Vitacean species. The style is pointed
and longer here! Is the style pointed and longer in Vitaceae? Neither
I dont think that it can be a Boraginaceaen species (Cordia sp).

Can it be a Menispermaceaen species?

Regards,
Giby

Yes Giby, I too thought of Menispermaceae by looking at the aerial roots and absence (?) of tendrils.
But it also resembles Vitaceae (Vitis, perhaps) in inflorescence and also by having spine-like projections along leaf-margins, a feature often seen in Vitaceae. But I don't think it is Boraginaceae (Cordia) as i don't know any climber in the genus.

Let's keep exploring.

As far as I know, there is no tendril.

Appears close to images at Cissus latifolia Lam., but I did not find its distribution in Java. 
So may be some Cissus species.
