I think last picture is somewhat different<\/p>\n

\n

I dont think last picture is of Ipomoea mauritiana<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

… the last two photos can be seen at:
\n1) http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/<\/span>dinesh_valke\/1251<\/span>\/<\/span><\/a>
\n2) http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/<\/span>dinesh_valke\/12514<\/span>\/<\/span><\/a>
\nboth clicked at Sanjay Gandhi National Park … both at August 26, 2007<\/span> at 8.45am IST … must be a matter of few seconds’ difference.
\nBUT there is mix-up of plants.
\nThe cluster of buds belong to I. mauritiana<\/i> … please validate.<\/p>\n

\n

Was there any recent nomenclatural change for this plant?
\nFor me this looks like <\/span>Argeryia<\/i> sp.?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

I would like to bring to light a factor which I perceive to be relevant and that is the historical confusion between Ipomoea digitata<\/i> and Ipomoea mauritiana<\/i>.
\nIpomoea digitata<\/i> and Ipomoea mauritiana<\/i> are both legitimate species but descriptions of the 2 contain sufficient over-lapping features to
\ninstill confusion.
\nSo far, I have been unable to (with any certainty) distinguish between Ipomoea digitata<\/i> and Ipomoea mauritiana<\/i> and photos on the web
\nusing both epithets appear to be the same plant.
\nI have seen Ipomoea digitata<\/i> listed as a synonym of Ipomoea mauritana<\/i> and Ipomoea mauritiana<\/i> listed as a synonym of Ipomoea digitata<\/i>.
\nHere is a synonym I have for Ipomoea digitata<\/b><\/i> :
\nIpomoea rubrocincta<\/i>
\nIpomoea paniculata<\/i> var. digitata<\/i><\/span>
\nHere is the list of synonyms I have for Ipomoea mauritiana<\/b><\/i> :
\nSynonym:Ipomoea ennealoba<\/i>
\nSynonym:Ipomoea eriosperma<\/i>
\nSynonym:Ipomoea insignis<\/i>
\nSynonym:Ipomoea eriosperma<\/i>
\nSynonym:Ipomoea paniculata<\/i><\/span>
\nA check for both names in http:\/\/ipni.org\/ipni\/<\/span>plantnamesearchpage.do<\/span><\/a> may prove useful
\nThere are various subtypes listed for Ipomoea digitata<\/i>
\nI perceive that Ipomoea mauritiana<\/i> must be clearly distinguished from Ipomoea digiitata<\/i> before any definitive ID’s can be arrived at for
\nthese 2 similarly featured species.
\nI hope my thoughts on the matter may be of some value…<\/p>\n

\n
I also have been thinking that perhaps I. digitata<\/i> and I. mauritiana<\/i> are sufficiently distinct. This conclusion is base on the climber which I had uploaded from Delhi, and was variously identified (most suggesting I. batatas<\/i>; but having seen I. batatas<\/i> was not convinced) but I finally found it matching with some photographs of I. digitata<\/i> on the net. I am uploading the same for comparison and validation.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks for your photo contributions as they clearly show that the sepals are very distinctly different.
\nThe leaves of both species (including variant forms) can look very similar and the corolla color may also vary.<\/span>
\nI personally would be interested to see closeups of the seeds of both species for comparison.
\nTrue climbers have stems and stem tips that either always twine or at least have the ability to twine when encountering something to climb,
\nas compared to a plant with non-twining stems that may weave through bushes or lean on a support and therefore some branches grow upward but not truly climbing.
\nThe ars-grin has the following entries for some reference
\nIpomoea mauritiana<\/i>
\nhttp:\/\/www.ars-grin.gov\/cgi-<\/span>bin\/npgs\/html\/taxon.pl?311648<\/span><\/a>
\nIpomoea digitata<\/i> auct.
\nhttp:\/\/www.ars-grin.gov\/cgi-<\/span>bin\/npgs\/html\/taxon.pl?406359<\/span><\/a>
\nIpomoea digitata<\/i>
\nhttp:\/\/www.ars-grin.gov\/cgi-<\/span>bin\/npgs\/html\/taxon.pl?20159<\/span><\/a>
\nI do perceive that Ipomoea mauritiana<\/i> and Ipomoea digitata<\/i> are distinct species but the descriptions in the literature and keys still contains enough over-lap of features to make a clear differential challenging and it is my thoughts that the sepals and seeds may be the most important parts to examine for a clearer distinction between the 2 species, especially when all the variations of the corolla and leaves are taken into consideration.<\/p>\n

Thank you … I got a reply from … who identified it as Ipomoea digitata<\/i> so I am confused now about the species. Hope to get more clarity.<\/p>\n

Ipomoea mauritiana<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you … I found on the net that Ipomoea mauritiana<\/i> and Ipomoea digitata<\/i> are synonymous so it validates … id.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lovely picture …
\nThe Malayalam name seems to be missing the second letter. It is \u0d2a\u0d3e\u0d32\u0d4d\u200d\u0d2e\u0d41\u0d24\u0d41\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d4d<\/b>. It means ‘milky tuber’.
\nYet another name for the same plant that I came across in Malayalam is\u00a0\u0d05\u0d1e\u0d4d\u0d1a\u0d3f\u0d32\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3e\u0d33\u0d3f<\/b><\/span> <\/span><\/span>(Anjilathali<\/b>).
\nThe term ‘\u0d24\u0d3e\u0d33\u0d3f’ (thali) is a general Malayalam word used to indicate any leaf whose extract can be used as a shampoo. Anjila means five leaves. So the name would mean ‘Five-leaved thali’. Perhaps these leaves are used as a shampoo. I am not sure.<\/span><\/p>\n
