Good photos Prasad ji,

This Liana is called ' Chappekai ' in Kannada.
Grows in moist deciduous valleys.
Crosses about 5 to 6 tree canopies.

Thanks Sheshadri Ji for comments and additional information on the habitat of this species. I had also observed the same in its locality during collection as the liana was spread over 4 trees.

Regards
