Dear Mr. Neil, It can not be Cumis Trigonis. The pictures of C trigonis is shown in the below link. I have seen this climber and fruits in plenty. In wayanad you find them around all cattle sheds because the cows enjoy the fruit and the seeds in the cow dung sprout in large numbers. I have always wondered the name of this. http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=aZa&rlz=1R1GGGL_en___IN364&&sa=X&ei=XlSkTLG1BcKlcJq7zKoI&ved=0CBQQBSgA&q=Cucumis+trigonus Regards Yazdy.
