Hi,  Agree with Dr. Vijayasankar. This is an species of Olax, possibly O.imbricata. Have seen Olax psittacorum [O.scandens] on the other side of the quarry at C.E.C., Goregaon.                         Regards,                          Neil Soares. --- On Fri, 2/18/11, Vijayasankar <vijay.b...@gmail.com> wrote:
