Anurag Ji, Flora of Karmataka thinks (1) *Tetrastigma lanceolarium* is accepted name of *Cissus/Vitis lanceolaria* and (2) *T. leucostaphylum* is accepted name of *Tetrastigma muricatum* (Wight & Arn) Gamble. KEY and description of the above two species can be found in the same site - http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=4504&cat=1
It is ironical that the fruit size of *T. leucostaphyllum* given in the above site goes against the book Garg Sir mentioned earlier <http://books.google.co.in/books?id=pSXidQZupHYC&pg=PA294&dq=Tetrastigma+%2B+india&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6Tg4UsK2FoXirAfjo4GoCw&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Tetrastigma%20%2B%20india&f=false>. It is further more ironical that our group recognize the second one above is a different taxon - https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/v/vitaceae/tetrastigma/tetrastigma-muricatum Certainly what the above book <http://books.google.co.in/books?id=pSXidQZupHYC&pg=PA294&dq=Tetrastigma+%2B+india&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6Tg4UsK2FoXirAfjo4GoCw&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Tetrastigma%20%2B%20india&f=false> says about the fruit (triangula-obcordate) of *Tetrastigma rumicisperma* is wrong. The fruit of this species (*T. rum.*) will be same as *T. lanceolarium* but smaller (check FoC <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242351675>); and the plant will be same as *T. lanceolarium*. All the above confusion, I think, lies in a single Wallich collection - Wall. cat. 6013. and entries in FBI. So, forget about all experts, books, sites. Take a tip from this non-botanist-expert one, i.e. myself! Your plant is *Tetrastigma leucostaphylum* as per fruit size (more than 1.2 cm?) mentioned in your Flora of Karnataka site.
