    A twining creeper found here in Mumbai's one of the jungle park.
    Is it weed or rare something.
    The seed pod looks like a flower bud but when it opens it shows 4 seeds secured inside in a membrane. I don't know how to describe but even the twining stem has membrane like structure around it (3rd photo upper right).

    Please help me identify this creeper.
    (apologize for picture quality)
    Thanx.
