    Hi, I have this mystery plant I met years ago (2010) in the Atlantic Forest in the state Rio de Janeiro. I only found this single one in the dense shade of the forest floor. It could be a juvenile vine, unfortunately I have no flowers nor fruits to show, only this single photo. At the time I also didn't think of photographing the backside, which could have been helpful..
    Any suggestions very much appreciated, my searches have been fruitless!
    the second version of the photo, I've put a red arrow that suggests it could be a vine

    Thanks Wendy, I'll have a look at it again, but I don't have much hopes..
    Austrocritonia velutina does occur in the Rio state but the herbarium specimen seem to have soft haired stems and the leaves probably soft haired too, so disguising the venation, hence the species name velutina.
