Ipomoea indica (Burm.) Merr., Interpr. Herb. Amboin. 445 445 1917. (Syn: Bonamia trichantha var. ovata Ooststr.; Convolvulus acuminatus Vahl …; Convolvulus indicus Burm. ….; Ipomoea acuminata (Vahl) Roem. & Schult. ….; Parasitipomoea formosana Hayata; Pharbitis acuminata (Vahl) Choisy …….);
.
Blue Dawnflower, Oceanblue Morning Glory, Island Morning Glory, Purperwinde, Blue morning-glory ;
.
Herbaceous climber similar to I. nil in sometimes 3-lobed leaves, longer sepals often reaching 24 mm and narrowed towards tip, but distinct in sepals with appressed pubescent, corolla usually longer, bluish with commonly purplish throat. .
Species (I. nil) appearing similar to I. indica but with sepals densely hirsute at base, often slightly curved above, lighter coloured smaller flowers.
.
The main feature of distinction is calyx lobes. in I. indica calyx lobes are 10-20 mm long, ovate-lanceolate and long acuminate, pubescent or glabrous. In I. nil sepals are 15-25 mm long, narrowly lanceolate, tapering into long tip and more importantly long hirsute especially near base. In fact I. hederacea is very close to I. nil, but tips of calyx calyx lobes in fruit are straight in I nil, but curved to one side or recurved in I. hederacea.
.
I. hederacea Jacq. was recognised in eFlora of pakistan, but now both I. hederacea Jacq. and I. hederacea Baker & Rendle have been merged with I. nil.

19/05/2021 : Hooghly : Convolvulaceae : Ipomoea: 6 images. Check for Ipoemea nil. Sir ji, you make me nervous! I have a 2012 post, where flowers are markedly smaller – efi thread
Yet, … post – efi thread – confirmed/validated by … makes me nervous again.
So, I take FoC help :-
Finally, I think it may not be I. nil.
Thank you so much, it helped me recheck my 2012 upload. Master ji Thanks. Your efforts are commendable. What an in-depth study. Your ID is final for me.
Ipomoea tricolor I think has mostly entire leaves. This could be I. indica, but only lateral close up of flower showing showing calyx should help. Yes, I nil is also possible. calyx would help Found one more picture taken at the same place on 21st Oct,2008 at Munnar. Could this be of any help? would go with Ipomoea indica even i get confuse between I. indica and I. nil.. flower look exactly similar.. May leaves shape help.. The main feature of distinction is calyx lobes. in I. indica calyx lobes are 10-20 mm long, ovate-lanceolate and long acuminate, pubescent or glabrous. In I. nil sepals are 15-25 mm long, narrowly lanceolate, tapering into long tip and more importantly long hirsute especially near base. In fact I. hederacea is very close to I. nil, but tips of calyx calyx lobes in fruit are straight in I nil, but curved to one side or recurved in I. hederacea. I. hederacea Jacq. was recognised in eFlora of pakistan, but now both I. hederacea Jacq. and I. hederacea Baker & Rendle have been merged with I. nil.

Ipomoea id please. This is Ipomoea learii Knight ex Paxton which is now a syn of Ipomoea indica (Burm.) Merr. Frontal views of flower do not suggest anything, In Convolvulaceae showing inflorescence and the calyx of flower is necessary for a correct ID. Now ID is just a guess.

Attaching an image of a Bumble bee on the flower of a Ipomoea Sp. Appears to be Ipomoea indica (Burm.) Merr. as per images herein. . Help me in identifying the Convolvulaceae weed predominating Bangalore: The fast-spreading convolvulaceae member in Bangalore could be any of the 3 species viz. Ipomoea indica, Ipomoea muricata or Ipomoea parasitica. Another plant, Argyreia cuneata is also common near Hebbal area, but it is not that fast-spreading.

Syn: Convolvulus indicus Burm.f.; Ipomoea mutabilis Lind. Herbaceous climber similar to I. nil in sometimes 3-lobed leaves, longer sepals often reaching 24 mm and narrowed towards tip, but distinct in sepals with appressed pubescent, corolla usually longer, bluish with commonly purplish throat. Photographed from Delhi and California I have a query about differentiation between the three species.

Here are specific differences:
Ipomoea indica Ipomoea nil
1. Stems appressed pubescent, sometimes rooting at nodes 1. Stems covered with long spreading hairs.
2. Leaves pubescent with short hairs 2. Leaves with long spreading hairs
3. Infl. Several flowered in dense umbellate cymes. 3. Inf. 1-few flowered.
4. Bracts linear or lanceolate. 4. Bracts linear or filiform
5. Sepals subequal, gradually linear-acuminate, 5. Sepal almost equal, with spreading long hairs on outside
appressed pilose, outer 3 lanceolate to broadly near base, subglabrous above with linear tip
lanceolate, inner 2 narrowly lanceolate.
6. Corolla blue or bluish-purple aging to red, 5-7 cm long. 6. Corolla pale to bright blue with white tube, fading pinkish with age, 3-5 cm long
7. Capsule 10-13 mm across. 7. Capsule 8-10 mm across
