It looks very close to Evolvulus pilosus


Thanks for suggested id.
On searching, it looks close to Convolvulus mauritanicus also.

This is just a suggested id.


I will go with … for Evolvulus pilosus as per the following links:

sorry to say but except for the color of the flower nothing else matches.
not the leaves: their shapes, interval between the leaves on the twig, not the trailing nature of the stems/twigs and the flower petals themselves … here its crisp thin tightly open in the pictures in the links the petals are sort of blousy, folded, and periphery is not a tight circle as in the case presented.
I don’t know what it can be  but its not matching what’s showing in the links.
one thing i can think of that can cause such differences MAY be //possibly… is all the pictures in the links are from nurseries, they may have been feeding, and pruning the stems, to produce such tight rosettes of leaves and such larger petals that are folding over.
AND continue to look inside the flower…looks a  bit different from the links

Could it be Convolvulus mauritanicus as per the link

Sorry I have been travelling and unable to reply to all my mails.


Can we check with Convolvulus sabatius?

Just a suggestion after a lot of searching.
The shape of the flower and its centre are looking quite close.
…, do we need to check with Ron?
