Cucurbitaceae

[Satish Phadke]

I was never interested in observing these wild cucurbits. After some recent posts I am sharing one captured around 7 days back.
Expecting some ID.

Satish ji ... Diplocyclos palmatus ... in our database recently as well earlier ... commonly known as: bryony, lollipop climber, marble vine • Hindi: शिवलिंगी shivalingi • Kannada: ಲಿಮ್ಗತೊಮ್ಡೆ ಬಳ್ಳಿ limgatomde balli • Marathi: महादेवी mahadevi • Sanskrit: अपष्ठम्भिनी apashtambhini, चित्रफला chitraphala, लिङ्गिन् lingin, शिवलिङ्गी shivalingi • Tamil: ஐவிரலி aivirali • Telugu: లింగదొండ linga-donda

Pictures 0388s and 0376s are of Diplocyclos palmatus.

0374s & 0375s (also 0377s?) may be Momordica species.

Yes Vijaysankar ji has a valid point. The flowers look different.
To add the information about the specimen which I have shot.
These are difficult to capture in picture as isolated species.  There were other climbers and trees as well on the same hedge.
Someone needs to compile the differences of these two in tabular form.
Thanks

... many thanks Vijayasankar ji for the check ... clearly overlooked despite flowers looking different in 0374s, 0375s, 0377s ... the flowers and leaves remind me of Momordica charantia.
Regards.

0388, 0376 and 0377 are from the same plant 0374 and 0375 are different.
