Z. asiatica is a scrambling shrub or climber. 

Z. rhetsa is a shrub or a tree,

This is a shrub or a climber ??

Thank you.

This is a climber. 

The doubt in my mind is whether Z. asiatica or Mezoneuron cucullatum. I have seen both in similar form where the leaves and other vegetative parts cannot be seen. 

Most possibly this must be Z. asiatica.

I got confused while comparing these two species, therefore I had posted my query.

Z. asiatica

M.cucullatum

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=1065368

I think more closer to this image of M.cucullatum in pattern and scaling, if the id is correct:

Ok, Garg ji, many thanks for suggesting Mezoneuron cucullatum. 

I will revise the label in my notes, and we will wait for validation.
