This liana grows in the greenhouse of O.V. Fomin Botanical Garden of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine). The plant has been introduced from Botanical Garden in Batumi (Georgia), where it was also undetermined.
Many thanks in advance.
It is always difficult to identify a plant without reproductive structures.
Dear Arvind, I totally agree with you. But this plant has not flowered yet, and I think it won't happen in the nearest future.
Dear, Viktor,
In my opinion, its very difficult to identify a plant without noticing the flowers and the seeds.
With regards
Hello, due to the lack of reproductive organs, my identification will not be one hundred percent sure but using leaf morphology, its nerves etc. I can suggest that it could be Ipomoea alba. Here is a photo for comparison.
Dr. Arvind is correct without flower and fruit difficult to identify any plant with surety.
This is almost certainly a Aristolochia species, the structure of the bark and the shape and nervature on the leaf is quite pronounced.
Did it also have a characteristical smell of spices something similar to black pepper?
For Identification on species level, I agree with the other people, floral traits are necessary.
May be
1. Aristolochia macrophylla OR
2, Chondrodendron tomentosum
@Viktor Nachychko Check if it is Aristolochia pontica

I am agree with dr Nataraj S K but for clear identification flower is required
