Hi,

Photographed this plant near a lake in Bangalore around April 2022. Is this Ipomoea amnicola?

About 1-1.5 meters tall, spreading and flowering profusely.

Warm regards

Hewittia malabarica (L.) Suresh syn : Ipomoea staphylina Roem. & Schult.

Ipomoea amnicola has no distribution in India !

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Kasaju.

One more question, how do you know if a plant has distribution in a particular area? I know that there is years of accumulated wisdom and keen interest behind it. Is there also some list to refer to for India or for specific states, and cities?

Thank you and warm regards

Basically, you could check links like POWO, CoL and GBIF for distribution of species.

Here also, one link may show the distribution of the particular sp and others not.

Further, you can browse Google for the distribution of the particular sp for the particular

country and more at BPI, journals available and books.

Thank you.

However, we need to refer to other links also. If one database shows the distribution, we should consider it I guess.
