This plant is somewhat matching to *Zehneria bodinieri* (H.Lév.) W.J.deWilde & Duyfjes in shape of fruit and length of fruiting pedicel. But the leaves of this plant are different from that of Kaas plants. Let us wait for comments from experts.
*Zehneria hookeriana* (Wight & Arn.) Arn. is said to be endemic to Tamil Nadu and its fruits have longer pedicels. The posted plant is not *Z. maysorensis*, as has been previously identified, according to the following reference. Reference: De Wilde WJJO, Duyfjes BEE (2004) *Zehneria *(Cucurbitaceae) in Thailand, with a note on the Indian *Zehneria maysorensis*. Thai Forest Bulletin, Botany 32: 15–31.
