I had earlier uploaded an enquiry to identify a herb which i photographed in Rajasthan, which had been identified as <\/span>Evolvulus alsinoides<\/i> also.
\n<\/span>In this case, given that it has been identified as the same species, may it be inferred that when the photograph was taken the petals of the flower seem to be folding over, possibly to conserve moisture?

I never knew the leaves were supposedly hirsuite
\nsome mix up I think with the earlier diagnosis<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Though I have not seen this species yet the leaves are densely appressed hairy or silky underneath<\/span> as per Haines in “Botany of Bihar and Orissa”. Bengal Plants and FBI also support that. And also leaves are very variable in shape.<\/span><\/p>\n

may be difference of young plant or plant in lush environment vs rajasthan’s dry land
\nbut only a thorough study of several plants from each place and of plants of various ages …young, flowering beginning, ending flowering and seed production (i believe these are annuals in the wild, so can be studied in one season)
\n<\/span>untill then these two seem to be different creatures<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You are right. This is E.alsinoides<\/i> a prostrate herb of 10- 15 cm total length<\/span>. The other climber you are talking about is an ornamental climber Jacquemontia <\/i>earlier discussed during the Convolvulaceae week.

Both are seen nearby my house.\u00a0One in wild and another in a garden !<\/p>\n

\n
i know. thats why i was surprised that some one in Hugli district (WB) was able to grow it (because its very rainy and humid here). so i paid a lot of money to buy it but after a season in the balcony i did not get any seeds.<\/div>\n
where as in Saurashtra around Dwarka etc it self seeded and grew in abundance.<\/div>\n
Have you photographed both? to show the differentiation in your neighbourhood.<\/div>\n
\n

I will photograph and send them<\/p>\n

\n

Flower size…
\nSmaller than thumb-nail= E. alsinoides<\/i>.
\n<\/span>More or less about size of two thumb-nails = <\/span>E. glomeratus<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
Thanks … These flowers were just about a centimetre across.
\nI think the long pedicel is good characteristic of <\/span>E. alsinoides<\/i>; I am not sure of <\/span>E. glomeratus<\/i> pedicel length. Any way the <\/span>E. glomeratus<\/i> flower is relatively quite large.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

my hanging basket flowers were small about 1 to less than 2 cms<\/p>\n

\n

I am sending the photographs of E.glomeratus\u00a0<\/i>grown on a neighbor\u00a0house compound wall.\u00a0The area where the E.alsinoides<\/i> was present\u00a0was cleared by the Corporation (cleaning drive)..\u00a0 Nevertheless, I will spot somewhere else and post you the photographs.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Thank you, … I also noticed besides being larger flower, the stem is hairy <\/span>unlike the A. alsinoides<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Superb upload. The ID is correct. This is a common weed here. Plenty around my house.<\/span> A very useful medicinal plant used in Ayurveda \/ native medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The whole plant is used in form of\u00a0decoction in nervous debility and loss of memory. The plant is also useful as blood purifier and in bleeding piles. The fresh flowers with sugar are eaten as a brain tonic. The leaves are made into cigarettes and smoked in chronic bronchitis and asthma.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
