Hi,

Would be grateful for any help in identifying this climber. The photographs were sent to me by my friend Amogh Ghaisas from Rajmachi. Believe it was grown from seeds collected in Sirsi.

Thanks,

With regards,

Neil Soares.

It could be a member of Rutaceae.

Thank you Dr.Vijayasankar & Dr.Pankaj for your replies. Had asked my friend precisely the same question and he assured me that it was definitely a climber as he had himself collected the seeds from it.

Regards,

Neil Soares.
