Is it Dolichandra unguis cati?
Images are from Pune Maharashtra India.
This huge climber growing on the tree and walls near British council Library Pune on Fergusson road.The leaves have two leaflets it seems. Firmly fixing to the host tree.
My take is Bignoniaceae.
Obviously looks like introduced one probably by Britishers....

the cats claw is very distinct

once you see it, it remains in the memory bank for ever

Thanks, Satish ji.
But it is very difficult to see close up details in these.
May I request you to pl. post original image of 5042s to check the details.
I find possibility of Dolichandra unguis-cati
