Convolvulaceae week : Ipomoea carnea Pune: The plant looks to fit the botanical name. I think this plant grows throughout india except high altitude

Grows everywhere .. even in hardest conditions Yes a Very common plant along ditches and field fencing. Ipomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa is the only one observed in tropics. The other Ipomoea carnea subsp. carnea is distinct with cordate to rounded leaves is observed in central and south america There is major difficulties concerning Ipomoea carnea subspecies fistulosa and Ipomoea carnea subspecies carnea.
I had researched the supposed differences in the ‘subspecies some years ago and found that there were significant misconceptions involved regarding the structure, location and behavior of the 2 supposed subspecies. The only difference is in the shape (measurement parameters) of the leaves and plants conforming to the leaf parameters can be found in populations supposedly consisting of only 1 subspecies. There are studies that indicate that other aspects like more vining or trailing habit for subspecies carnea has been shown to be dubious at best. The fact that both subspecies were found to be able to adapt and therefore inhabit both arid and wet areas in both the New and Old world tropics has been shown to be true and that both subspecies can exhibit upright or more of a trailing (vining) habit based on topographical setting and adaptation, not any feature that is hard-coded into the genetics. The information on the web from official sites concerning the subspecies is mostly related to subspecies fistulosa because that is what supports the old , antiquated studies…subspecies carnea is rarely located on the web, not because it is any rarer than fistulosa but because it doesn’t fit the old studies… There is no difference in the seed characteristics of subspecies fistulosa or subspecies carnea. The supposed differences were based on early studies that utilized under-sampling and did not embrace a wide enough area of topography. I used to have all of the most important studies on my old hard drive but hardware self-destructed…although some of the more revealing studies were conducted in India (!) The USDA and others responsible for perpetuating the myths related to the ‘subspecies’ will not back off without losing face and political agendas may apply…some co-author papers with Monsanto ( major chemical company that manufactures / sells most of the herbicides to fight invasive exotic plants, and as the list of invasive grows , so does the amount of toxic chemicals used to combat ‘invaders’) …my position is that the herbicides used do more long term damage to ecosystems than the over-growth of any plant species…enough said… I would like to go on permanent record regarding my position on the myths related to the Ipomoea carnea subspecies and that the only difference is a relatively minor leaf measurement parameter and no other physical or behavioral characteristic.
I have recorded another member of Convolvulaceae today (27/Mar/2012), at NANO (in)famous SINGUR (Hooghly)!
I am sad that all the flowers lost their freshness during the mid-day when i reached there at around 2.30 pm. Is it the same Ipomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa as in – efi thread ? Species : UNKNOWN Habit & Habitat : woody herb, height – 5 ft and above, wild in ditch beside railway track Date : 27-03-2012, 2.30 p.m. Place : Singur (Hooghly, WB) Excellent views of the calyces , leaves and the colony. Very nice, but this is a mid-atlantic to south american ipomea that at least in goats induces a cerebellar neuronal disorder leading to many symptoms including depression, diarrhoea, gait problems, etc… upto point can be reversed when removed from grazing on these plants… Attaching another photo that i recorded this morning in my home. Here is another photograph that i have recorded this morning in my home.
Living with this alien invasive species since decades Indian cattle and goats are well aware of its toxicity. They keep distance with it. Taking advantage of it farmers use it as fence. This ref : http://ecoport.org/ep?SearchType=pdb&PdbID=99279
shows a one time static photo…. did it sprout leaves and flowers? did it flourish as a living hedge? Yes, you are right. It acts as live fence in later stage.
ID OF WATER REEDS: This is Ipomea carnea [locally called Besharam]. Ipomoea carnea “Besharam”
Good and complete set of pictures. (Especially the colour variation is beautiful)

Please ID this ornamental climber (Convolvulaceae) with white flowers and pink centre. Photo was taken in Sri Lanka in Sep 2012. It is Ipomoea carnea Jack. ssp. fistulosa (Mart. ex Choisy) Austin Yes, a common shrub of wet borders..
common swamp plant for ID – Andhra Pradesh – 08022014-NAW2 : Attachments (2). 5 posts by 3 authors. Kindly identify this common plant with pale pink flowers found in seasonal swamps and disturbed lands.
This was photographed on the 3rd of Feb near Markapur in Prakasham district, Andhra Pradesh.
The pictures are not very clear but i hope there is not so much difficulty.
height 1-2 metres. flowers 5-6 cm wide.
I was wondering if this plant could be used for greywater treatment. Looks like Ipomea carnea. yes it is Ipomoea carnea. A weed and sometimes invasive in wetlands Thank you all for the identification. Can you consider Typha as a possiblity?

Is this Ipomea batatas? I hope it is Ipomoea carnea Jacquin ssp. fistulosa (Martius ex Choisy) Austin

Attached is a common plant that grows in any wet patch around central India. They call it besharam or shameless in MP. Do you know the latin name and is it poisonous ? What sort of poison is it and how does it affect anyone ?
Thanks, … Pl. see Ipomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa for details. . Traditional Agricultural Knowledge: Chhattisgarh farmers still use extracts of Ipomoea carnea, Neem, Hyptis
to Cleistanthus collinus to manage rice pest. It is part of their Traditional Agricultural Knowledge. I have uploaded a video based on discussion with Chhattisgarh farmer Shri Balak Ram.

9.30 am, 9 March, 2009 at Tailoor lake in Kokkare Bellur
This shrub is found in abundance all over the banks of the Tailoor lake (~300 acres).
The flower bud seems in no particular hurry to bloom but that does not seem to bother the purple sunbird. Well, remember the tale of the thirsty crow?
Even though the long tubes of the flower seem to be out of reach, the small bird displays enough intelligence to puncture the flower base and feed on the nectar happily and move on to the next plant. Next time, anyone calls you a bird brain, take that as a compliment! Ipomoea carnea Convolvulaceae (morning glory family)
(Tailoor lake is a paradise for wet land water birds – Coot, Cormorant, Spot billed duck, long legged stilt, Pelican, waders and numerous migratory birds)
The Sunbird picture is an eye opener for those who strongly advise removal of Ipomoea carnae from water bodies. They claim that this exotic is not visited by any bird and is harmful (?) to the wetland habitats. I have found that Ipomoea-Typha community creates floating masses of vegetation that supports a lot of aquatic flora and fauna.
Yes .., common in Delhi in marshy areas, The wasp in the photograph is Vespa tropica belonging to family Vespidae. Yes, the correct name of the wasp is Vespa tropica, Vespidae family. I have witnessed these wasps many times feeding alone. Probably a solitary wasp. Not a solitary wasp but a social wasp. Check out my blog article at Yes, these live together in a nest colony. Never witnessed them feeding on nectar together. .      Kalatope id Al221111:
A shrub taller than me for id Location Kalatope Sanctuary
Altitude 1200 mts Habit Shrub Habitat wild Height 7 feet Season October-November This is Besharam [Ipomea carnea]. Yes very common along ditches and field borders in N W India Ipomoea carnea, a weed…. Yes … In central Indian n in North too we call it “Besharam” cauz it grows everywhere. Besharam is really Besharam having presence everywhere….
