the images of species uploaded here is not Ipomoea batatas. It is not also cultivated as my information was wrong. Sorry for that.

What are the Calystegia species reported from your area?
According to ‘Flora of Assam’ vol I-IV [Kanjilal et.al., 1940], ‘Assam’s Flora (Present Status of Vascular Plants)’[ Chowdhury, S. 2005], ‘Plant diversity of Assam- A checklist of Angiosperm and Gymnosperms (Barooah & Ahmed, 2014)and ‘Plantes Assam’ (Chowdhury, S., 2021) there is no record of occurrence of Calystegia sp. from Assam(my area). Moreover, according to ‘Flowering Plants of India –An Annotated Checklist ,Dicotyledons Vol-II, BSI’ [ Dash and Mao 2020] only one single species of Calystegia ( Calystegia hederacea Wall.in Roxb.) is reported from Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Sikkim, UttarPradesh, and West Bengal states of India (Page No. 181-182). And one new variety of Calystegia hederacea was also reported from Jammu and Kashmir State, India ( Bhellum and Magotra, 2010).
Pl. try to match with this.
