Dear Dr. Gurcharan Singh ji, Thanks for the complement Sir. It was not my intention to correct anybody. I have seen both these vines at my place and the remark of Mr. Vijayashankar ji made me look up Dioscorea Oppositifolia and found that the leaves are different from the ones shown in your mail. I thought of finding out from the net and managed to get it. The next thing was to share with all you Botanists. Thanks once again, as I wrote to Rashida ji this morning. All of you have opened another dimension in my life and I observe more these days. Regards Yazdy.
