Yesterday visited the plant again. I thought the buds will bloom into significantly sized flowers, but got disappointed to observe very small flowers 2-3mm with trimerous ovary at base showing the would be fruits. Attaching the pictures.

Had found similar plant last week near Prabal Machi
ID ... Dioscorea belophylla, provided by Satish Pardeshi ji for my plant at http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&w=91314344%40N00&q=Dioscorea+belophylla&m=text
In my plant, the raceme stalk is very tender and entirely pendulous.

Dear Dinesh Ji ,
Though both the plants seem to have cordate, multicostate leaf but on close examination of the photos of Dioscorea belophylla and unidentified plant sent by Satish Ji, clearly revels the differences.
The leaf base of D belophylla has a deeper notch than the other plant. The leaf apex of D belophylla is much more prolonged and acute. Both the leaves are multicostate but in case of D belophylla 11 (eleven) prominent veins comes out from the leaf base where as the other plant has only 5 (five) to its credit. The leaf surface in D belophylla is much not at all glabrous like the other leaf.
Hence such series of difference in both the plant restricts me from thinking that the unidentified plant is Dioscorea belophylla.
Kindly see the photo plate (Difference99) attached with this mail where the difference can well be seen.
Sorry to both Dinesh Ji and Satish ji for using the cropped version of their photos to show the pictorial differences.
Regards
Tanay

My intention was to steer the ID towards Dioscorea from Piper.

Some new buds have started developing on this climber. waiting for the buds to bloom into flowers. Some old seeds hanging from dry branches.
