It does look like Smilax, but leaves are required to confirm id.

Friends,

            The fruits were seen growing on another tree and it was difficult to distinguish the leaves.My impression is that the leaves were not large.I shall shortly post the tree( on which some other fruit were seen) .But the locals have identified as "Ghotvel" for sure.

Smilax is a climber and the leaves seen in the picture are not of the climber. As Vijay said without leaves it is not possible to come to a conclusion on species of Smilax.

Hi,  This is a species of Smilax possibly S. zeylanica.                    With regards,                      Neil Soares. --- On Wed, 1/9/13, satish nikam <satish...@gmail.com> wrote:

I think may be more closer to Smilax ovalifolia Roxb. ex D.Don rather than Smilax zeylanica L. (based on the relative size of the umbel and pedicels therein)

Smilax ovalifolia Roxb. ex D.Don

Internodes are much longer to S. zeylanica.
