I had seen it flowering around the end of monsoon growing on a Dalbergia lacerifolia tree (known as Takoli locally) It was an herbaceous climber a few meters long. the leaves varied from cordate to digitate as dipicted in the images attached. But had a slightly serrate margin. The calyx of the flower was peculiarly large and cup shaped. the buds ready to open emerged out of the climber. the calyx was not seen after fruit began to develop. I managed to sight only one very young fruit which was similar to Momordica dioica (Kartuli, in marathi) and had blunt spines over it. The climber is not seen in the dry season.
