liana for id mm1 21102011

[Mohina Macker]

This liana is growing on a mango tree

and is intertwined by tinosporia cordifloria or gulvel

Locally the lianna is called Ghauser

I was told that 866 was the same as the lianna and it was growing a few inches away

Would very much appreciate an id

This can be Hiptage madablota./H. benghalensis which has similar leaves Pl check the illustration.
Mind you this is a guess similar to that by HS ji.
Without flowers it is difficult to ID.
Zoom on the leaf illustration here and your picture.
