Surajit ji, ... would like to go with the latter two illustrations (the two are one and the same - Illustration contributed by the Library of the Missouri Botanical Garden, U.S.A.).
Plants of *Leea macrophylla* that I have seen in Sanjay Gandhi National Park (Yeoor Hills, Nagla Block, Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary) show the leaf to be in large simple shape. In some rare sightings - I have seen the leaf splitting in one or two leaflet at the base, the rest of the leaf remaining as a whole. My views: http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=91314344@N00&q=Leea%20macrophylla Eager to know from those who are familiar with *Leea* species. Regards.
