I think Gnetum ulla and Gnetum scandens appears to be the same species as per postings in efi as well as as per the following recent citaions:
*1. Gnetum* *ula* Brongn., *Voy. Monde Phan.: 12 1829*. (Syn: *Gnetum funiculare* Smith ex Wight; *Gnetum pyrifolium* Miq.; *Gnetum scandens* Brandis;* Gnetum ula* Rheede; *Thoa edulis* Willd.) as per IUCN Red List (LC) <http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/194940/0> (2011) *2. Gnetum ula* Brongn. in L.I.Duperrey, Voy. Monde, Phan.: 12 (1829), nom. superfl. as a syn. of *Gnetum edule (*Willd.) Blume, Tijdschr. Natuurl. Gesch. Physiol. 1: 161 (1834).<http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=334110>along with other synonyms as *Thoa** edulis* Willd., Sp. Pl. 4: 477 (1805).<http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=339356>, *Gnetum** scandens* Roxb., Hort. Bengal.: 66 (1814).<http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=334198>, *Gnetum** edule* (Willd.) Blume, Tijdschr. Natuurl. Gesch. Physiol. 1: 161 (1834). <http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=334110> ,*Gnemon** edulis* (Willd.) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 2: 796 (1891).<http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=334074>as per WCSP <http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=334205> There appears to be some confusion as to which name should be considered as an accepted name as well as in the nomenclature of *Gnetum scandens* Brandis& *Gnetum** scandens* Roxb. In view, I shall be following IUCN Red List (LC)<http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/194940/0>(2011) considering both postings of Gnetum ulla and Gnetum scandens as same untill & unless something else comes to the contrary.
