Ipomoea carnea
Dr.Gautam Joglekar
Mailing after a very long time indeed.
These are the images of Ipomoea carnea I clicked in Nashik in the month of Feb this year.
This is a potent toxic species growing abundantly on the country side.
The toxic principles of I. carnea are the alkaloids Swainsonine and Calystegines B1, B2, B3 and Cl.
The toxicity is generally observed amongst herbivores grazing in areas where the weed is abundant.
The manifestation of toxic symptoms may be in form of Incoordination, paresis (partial paralysis), and a star gazing posture.
Hope you like them.
cheers
Gautam.

what you say is true.
but Dr, Piska from Hyderabad when did experiments on this plant, he found out that the plankton density increses around the pices of these plants if kept floting in water. hence is useful in fish breeding
