\nFlowers axillary often in pairs. One blooming other in bud form.
\nSize around 5 cm. The leaves are characteristic: Palmately lobed; Proximal lobe divided.<\/span><\/p>\n

He shows whitish flowers with a slight pink tinge, like yours…<\/div>\n
but internet had many other deeper colors.. source of my confusion…
\nbut leaves seem to be the diagnostic feature…<\/div>\n
I WONDER WHAT WOULD THE TAXONOMISTS SAY…???<\/div>\n

Ipomoea cairica<\/i> also occur in white color<\/span>. White variety very commonly found in Ambala Cantt Haryana<\/p>\n

\nI have attached two crops of pics of a flower and its plant that I took on Saturday. The following information is available:<\/span><\/div>\n
Date\/Time- 2012-06-16 \/ 10:00 hrs<\/span><\/div>\n
Location- Malawli Village near Pune located at an altitude of about 620 metres.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Habitat- Wild<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Plant Habit- Appeared to be a large Shrub<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Height- Around<\/span><\/span> 2 metres<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaves- Slender<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Flowers Size- 2.5 to 3 inches Colour – Light Purple<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Please excuse the pic for leaf size comparison as it was windy and I could not focus well enough. <\/span>Please let me know what flower it could be.
\n<\/span>As an aside, can anyone here please put me in touch with a zoologist, especially someone who has knowledge about crustaceans? Or can someone direct me to an appropriate forum? I have clicked a few pics of land crabs found near Lohagad Fort in Pune that I would like to be identified. Help on the crab IDs would be great!<\/span><\/p>\n

Covolvulaceae Week – Bangalore – RA – Ipomoea cairica – Railway Creeper<\/a>:<\/div>\n
One of the commonest yet most useful of the evergreen creepers, refreshing the eve in the hottest weather with its clear, green leaves and delicate, mauve blooms, the Railway Creeper<\/b> is found in gardens, villages, and on practically every railway station, thus earning for itself its nickname. <\/span><\/div>\n
This morning glory vine is beautiful, climbing on to whatever it finds – the purple flower studded vine wrapped around bending bamboo stems, is a pleasing sight.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
Its stem is hairless, readily set roots when in touch with the earth. This species can be identified by its leaves which are hairless to 9cm long with 5-7 lobes, middle lobe the largest. Flowers purple, pink or rarely pinkish white, to 8cm across, solitary or in groups of 2-3. Fruit a 4-valved capsule, about 1cm across, each valve with 1 seed. Seed with wispy hairs attached. Spread by wind, water and humans.<\/span>

\nIpomoea cairica<\/span>, from Bangalore…<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Often called as Railway creeper<\/b> as it is seen growing along Railway lines<\/span> esp near Mumbai<\/span>.
\nA naturalised climber.
\n<\/span>I have often noticed that the the 2 basal lobes of the palmately divided leaf often have an additional partial lobe just like an appendage only in some leaves of the climber.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have often noticed that the the 2 basal lobes of the palmately divided leaf often have an additional partial lobe just like an appendage only in some leaves of the climber.”
\n<\/span>The structures you noticed occur on many multi-lobed <\/span>Convolvulacea<\/i> species and it is something that I watch for and have even selected for in my personal collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
