Goat’s foot Glory(Ipomoea pes-carpe) : 9 posts by 6 authors. 3 correct images as above.
Found along the sandy beaches of Kalpakkam.
………………….

The flower in the 3rd & 4th pic is not of Ipomoea pes-carpae, only the leaf in the 2nd pic belongs to Ipomoea sp. The flower looks like some Fabaceae (Papilionaceae) species. Please check.


i agree with this because when we see the flower in the picture it gives a clear idea of a pap family flower. while ipomea is a convolvulaceae plant. related to ipomea found on these creeks the fruit is worth watching. it is a round ball with lot of spiny projections. it is very light and rolls along with the wind on the shore, looks very funny and playful. worth watching. this is for dispersal.


I sort of agree with you. I have seen the fruit too and have played with it as a kid.
I have seen the flowers too earlier in full bloom but this looks different.
Probably there are two creepers in the same area. I have a visit scheduled in a couple of weeks.
I shall do a detailed analysis and get back on this.

It appears to be Canavalia lineata (Sagar-abai)- see the links: http://flickr.com/photos/Benrose/2255577027 & http://www.flickr.com/photos/xissey/2433310633/ & http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Canavalia


The flowers look like they belong to the family fabaceae


Canavalia lineata is not found in India as per FOC, GRIN, ILDIS, efi page etc.


It should be Canavalia rosea (Sw.) DC. as per images herein.

Canavalia rosea  (Sw.) DC.
… mix of bay bean & bay hops

seems like a weed to take over vast areas. is it indigenous to India?


Thanks … Not sure whether this plant is native to India; it is distributed pan-tropically. I think it must be native.


Ahhhh !!!!!! The leaves !!!!

So distinct !! Key to ID !!! Along with short fruit pod.
I was waiting for this species to appear in any of the forums I frequent.
Happy to see it in beautifully detailed post by inimitable …
It has a pantropical distribution, species of coastal habitat.
(In Surat I have a Canavalia species which does not fit completely into any described taxon. People have called it C. rosea on facebook, I never agreed. I tentatively call it C. catahrtica, but description for this taxon is a partial fit only. I am waiting for fruits to mature, then I shall bring it here for discussion) 

Thanks very much …
Best wishes for sorting out the Canavalia species that you have. I am sure you will do that soon.

dissect the flower
