Morphological characters were studied and compared with the closely related taxon and taxonomic literatures. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;T. tricuspidata&lt;/em&gt; subsp. &lt;em&gt;rotundata&lt;/em&gt; var. &lt;em&gt;longirachis&lt;/em&gt;, was found. This plant is described and illustrated here and treated as a new variety. It differs from the other of &lt;em&gt;T. tricuspidata&lt;/em&gt; subsp. &lt;em&gt;rotundata&lt;/em&gt; by having the following combination characters: Comparatively stout herbaceous climber up to 20 m long, tendril 3&amp;ndash;5-brached, probract obovate with obvious glands, mature blade unlobed or 3-shallowly lobed with 1-2 short angles, blade not deeply lobed (unlobed blade found in juvenile plants), blade size 5-11 cm diameter and raceme rachis length 10&amp;ndash;130 cm. Its fruits and seeds were used as medicinal parts. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Totally, three subspecies and four variety of &lt;em&gt;T. tricuspidata&lt;/em&gt; in Thailand have been recorded so far. Important comparative morphological characters with some closely related variety are discussed. The local people used it as medicinal plant.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wannachai Chatan*, Wilanwan Promprom &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
