As you may be aware, Cissus quadrangularis also has cylindrical and flattened stems (perhaps under cultivation?) in addition to the normal 4-angled stems. I guess the flat-stemmed form was recently described as new species (citation needed!). I think your plant is a form of C.quadrangularis with cylindrical stems. But this needs confirmation.
