Fruits & Vegetables Week: Ipomoea batatas, the Sweet potato:
Ipomoea batatas, the sweet potato, the tuberous roots used as food after boiling, baking or frying, usually as chat. Local names: – We prepare upama like dish of it for fast called kis. … may remember Aashadhi Ekadashi fast of her childhood. There is some Ipomea called Jangali ratalu. The tribals love it. We planted these near a rainharvesting pond. It grew and spread nicely. One fine day all plants were uprooted. It was a terrible site. All ratalus were eaten. -Adding my picture of Sweet Potato flower to your pictures. – remember many things of my childhood made of ratala. At my grandfathers place we used to make “handi”, an earthen pot filled with ratalas put in the charcoal fire for some time. these then we used to eat with milk and gul. Mouthwatering. In germany we get very rarely ratala. The only indian shop in Bremen is 25 km away and so less chance of eating ratala these days. i don’t know, if i can grow them in my garden. How are they grown? seeds? -I will let you know. But if I am not mistaken it is a creeper so cuttings are planted. Details will inquire and let you know. But one thing I know that when I visit you in Germany I can carry ratalas as gift. – Pictures of different aspects of this species from my database. http://pankajoudhia.com/album/main.php?g2_itemId=63709

Ornamental Climber for ID : Lalbagh,Bangalore : 210113 : AK-2:
Saw these small plants with purple leaves at Lalbagh, in Bangalore on 25/7/2012. Leaves look like Ipomoea but I have not seen Ipomoea with purple leaves.
These were young plants, not yet fully grown.
Can our experts identify these?

Searching shows one Ipomoea ‘Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Purple’ with heart shaped leaves..
Athough normal Sweet Potato leaves are different
Experts kindly validate. what is “Normal”. there is no normal… when the world is only a click away.

¿ Ipomoea / Argyreia ? Dear friends,
This climber is planted. The flower is about 4 cm across, and looks as much long. Please help ID. What about Ipomoea batatas ? Yes ! …, thank you very much for the suggestion / hint. The flower matches perfectly. The leaves are either heart-shaped OR lobes with deep sinuses.

Kannada names and English transliteration are correct !. Want to correct name in Santali Language.
Sakarkenda
In Santali we also call it as:
ᱵᱚᱥᱮᱨ ᱟᱹᱲᱩ Boser adu; Sakarkenda is not much called but its transcription in Santali would be ᱥᱟᱹᱠᱟᱹᱨᱠᱮᱸᱫᱟ
Thanks very very much … for validating the popular name, and as well as for the native name, both in native script.

Names compiled / updated at https://dineshvalke.blogspot.com/2023/04/ipomoea-batatas-l-lam.html For me it looks Kannada names and English transliteration are correct. This is a common crop cultivated here, very tasty, favourite to kids and available for Rs.35-40/kg.
Here ‘kilangu’ in English is Tamil pronunciation and the correct Malayalam spelling for കിഴങ്ങ് is kizhangu means tuber or rhizome. So the correct Malayalam spelling are ചക്കരക്കിഴങ്ങ് Chakkarakkizhangu ചീനിക്കിഴങ്ങ് Cheenikkizhangu മധുരക്കിഴങ്ങ് Madhurakkizhangu വള്ളിക്കിഴങ്ങ് Vallikkizhangu. one more മരക്കിഴങ്ങ് Marakkizhangu . request for id……….: 1 high res. image.
