and pale brown finely ribbed and/or flaky bark on older larger diameter branches (eg. > 10mm diameter) .

Suggested–only identification of this vine plant more or less mature.
I followed on from and checked this from, this sapling much smaller plant: Glossocarya hemiderma .
I have checked all of the sources i have put together in making this species page: Glossocarya hemiderma .
Furthermore the Au revision of this genus by Munir (1990) and some more sources not so reliable.
I have more checking to do, so far this checks out as a so well matching identification, yet, still to compare the two other _Glossocarya_ spp. _G. coriacea_ and _G. calcicola_ and some other less likely identitifcation candidates .
