Convolvulus prostratus..Indira Park,Ambala cantt,dated 26th april 2013 : Attachments (2). 1 post by 1 author. Convolvulus prostratus . Shankpushpi- which species? : 2 posts by 2 authors. I am way too much confused; the plant being referred in Ayurveda as Shankapushpa/ Shankpushpi belong to one species of more? Is it Convolvulus pluricaulis, with its round flowers, or Clitoria ternatea. with its conch shaped flowers? Both could be white or blue. “Shanka”=conch, so C. ternatea seems to me a better bet. Some say right species is Canscora decussata, or even Evolvulus alsinoides?
I would be obliged if someone can provide correct species name, with ID features and description.
This paper should help in deciding for Convolvulus pluricaulis, now correctly known as C. prostratus. Need id Assistance 120415SP1/2/3 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3)

Convolvulaceae Week: Convolvulus microphyllus Sieb. ex Spreng from Atta Panipat: The correct name is Convolvulus prostratus Forssk., I suppose. Yes Sir Thanks for Update Id please Looks like Evolvulus to me. I think Convolvulus prostratus looks like Convolvulus microphyllus, but as per Kew it is an un resolved name.

Need help to compare the specimens of Convolvulus. Both Convolvulus prostratus??
Apr 1, 2018. Faridkot. Punjab, elevation is 196 metres (643 ft) Thanks, … Efi site page available I think seeing the variation at Convolvulus prostratus, I think both are same. Kindly assist with plant ID
Is it Euploca strigosa ?
Why restricted in posting only one image? Leaf, habitat, location, elevation, date are also vital in identifying. Anyways, looks matching with the limited image! My apologies, sir, I got this photo from somebody else. Conveyed your message to them that more details are required. Possibly ‘No’ as it does not match with the photographs at eflora site
It has some resemblance to white variety of Evolvulus species. Not sure. The examination of other plant parts need to be checked for proper ID.
Okay. What might it be, then? Does not match with any species so far in efi site at Evolvulus
Also does not match with Euploca species so far in efi site.
Also does not match with Heliotropium
