Forwarding again for Id assistance please. Some earlier relevant feedback:
Possibilities: *Momordica subangulata* OR *M. angulata*; could not get sufficient descriptions to check on internet. Off the context, - the (male) flowers of bitter luffa are in clusters, female flowers, solitary ... please correct me if wrong. - the stalks are as long as 5 cm in case of bitter luffa OR even longer. Regards. Dinesh A patient download of http://www.sbcollege.org/ResearchProjects.pdf illustrates a new species on the last page, *Momordica sahyadrica* Joseph & Antony. Regards. Dinesh Could it be M. subangulata subsp. renigera as per discussions in another thread <https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/bNPuXOsu1y4> ? - from me Please also check - http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_ illustration=130024 Thank you Regards surajit Peduncles 1 flowered and bracts at the apex of peduncles is M. balsamina. Regards Shrikant solitary male flowers are also found in M. subangulata and M. cochinchinensis with enlarged bract near tip. M. balsamina would have ovary like M. charantia like ovary with distant tubercles. Tubercles here are somewhat spiny like M. subangulata. I hope male and female flowers were on different vines.

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.
