I have seen this climber flowering regularly everyday for a large duration of time last month or so.
At least few flowers every day. Now the season is about to be over. Clicked some shots today itself. Will post separately.

Please identify this Ipomoea from Trivandrum city. Photographed on 18 May 2013.

Growing wild on a road side.
White flowers.

---

It seems to be Ipomoea obscura.

---

Yes, this should be Ipomoea obscura….

---

But the classic purple throat of I.obscura is missing here.

---

Or is it there deep inside. … will you recheck it as I can see some purple violet colour from outside.

---

…, I am sorry I hadn’t  keenly observed all aspects of the flower!

I took these pictures in May ’13 and the plant has disappeared now because of frequent weeding of the road sides!  Hopefully it will sprout again once it rains.
I too can see some purple colour deep inside in a couple of pictures.

This is Ipomoea obscura. I met this species from Trivandrum itself

It’s absolutely you’re ma’am

Yes, it’s only

Ipomoea obscura from Kaikondrahalli lake, Bangalore-GS24012022-2: 4 high res. images.
Ipomoea obscura photographed from along Kaikondrahalli lake, Bangalore, 19-9-2015.

.

I’d of Ipomoea: 3 high res. images.
Request for I’d of Ipomoea from Bilaspur. Photographed in July, 2022.
Is it Ipomoa obscura? Need views of experts.

I hope Ipomoea obscura

Yes, maybe as per images at Ipomoea obscura
But for final confirmation calyx view is required.

Yes, it’s Ipomoea obscura

.

Creeper for ID: 2 images.
Seen in the wild near Jawalagiri, Tamilnadu.
I’m wondering if it is a plant called Thirutali in Malayalam, from the Ipomea family.

Can you show side view of the flower showing calyx?

I’m afraid this is the only other picture I have. Hope it helps.
1 image.

Might it be Ipomoea obscura.???
Common name….Malayalam Cherutali, Tirutali
https://www.nparks.gov.sg/florafaunaweb/flora/5/2/5273

I was hoping it was so. It is one of the ten plants considered as sacred in Kerala.

Ipomoea obscura (L.) Ker Gawl. is the correct ID !

.

TQ-Delhi03 Unid: 5 images.
A delicate creeper with flowers about 1.5 cm, and small ovate-heat-shaped leaves, found wild in Delhi, blooming in February.
Any clues to its identity?

It is Ipomoea sp., close to I. alba..

But aren’t the flowers of Ipomoea alba much larger, 8-14 cm?

Yes, they are longer, but atleast I could relate it to anything else at the moment..

The closest I could come to is Ipomoea obscura, although flower size is on the smaller side.

It can be I. obscura, the crumbled petals are confusing..

Seems ipomoea species

Yes, I agree as per images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/03/08/ipomoea-obscura/

Yes it is I. obscura.
