Convolvulaceae Week: Ipomoea cheirophylla from Delhi: Ipomoea cheirophylla O’Donell, Lilloa 29: 141 141 1959.

Syn: Ipomoea digitata L.; Ipomoea paniculata Burm.f. (non (L.) Rbr.); Convolvulus paniculatus (Burm.f.) Kuntze (non L.) 


A species closely similar to I. mauritiana and often confused with it, differing mainly in narrower leaf lobes and narrower longer calyx lobes. Both species have been uploaded together in the thread

Photographed from Rajouri Garden in Delhi.

It is also supposed to have tuberous roots like I. batatas and I. mauritiana and also used medicinally. 

I saw only one plant grown along the wall in Rajouri Garden in Delhi.

Looks like Ipomoea sp

how about Ipomoea digitata L.

May be some Ornamental varieties of Ipomoea batatas?

… is right. It is I. digitata L. now known as Ipomoea cheirophylla O’Donell, Lilloa 29: 141 141 1959.

A species closely similar to I. mauritiana and often confused with it, differing mainly in narrower leaf lobes and narrower longer calyx lobes. Both species have been uploaded together in the thread, one by Dinesh ji and one by me.

Thanks to … for the detailing.

This is called Vidari Kanda in Coastal Karnataka, and is excessively used in the preparation of Chyavan prash, an Ayurvedic Tonic. Often it is cultivated in the Areca gardens too.

As … mentioned, this species is often confused with I. mauritiana, hence the name I. digitata L. (native to S.America) has been incorrectly treated as synonymous to I. mauritiana (a widely distributed species) in the past.

As far as I know, Vidari Kanda is actually Ipomoea mauritiana (= I. digitata auct non L.; = I. paniculata) and not I. digitata L.

Thanks, …, As per Catalogue of Life,  Ipomoea digitata L. is the accepted name & Ipomoea cheirophylla O’Donell is another plant.
