[JANAKI TURAGA]

Hi all,

Would appreciate if someone can identify this lovely vine.

This delicate vine was trailing along the ground and climbing up some low shrubs in a wasteland near wheat fields.

Its funnel shaped flowers were white and pinkish in colour.

Lovely flowers!

Thanks

Janaki Turaga

Looks like one of the bindweeds, perhaps Lesser bindweed, Convovulus arvensis. Regards-- Ken Greby Broward County, Florida USA --- On Sun, 3/22/09, JANAKI TURAGA <janaki...@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, Janaki ji,

I agree with Ken ji.

I think it's Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis). Attached my pictures here.

See from earlier post on it from Indiantreepix Database:

Convolvulus arvensis

Convolvulaceae

Field Bindweed

On 20/7/08 around agricultural fields at Agriculture University in Hyderabad, AP.

This is Convolvulaceae. Ipomoea marginata and Convolvulus marginatus are same. And I still think this is Convolvulus marginatus.

... now there is some confusion in my mind ... I have come to believe Ipomoea marginata to be what I have here:

http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=91314344@N00&q=Ipomoea+marginata&m=text

 

... and it would lead me to think like Saurabh ji

... UNLESS

1) what I have been considering as I. marginata is supposed to be C. arvensis

2) I. marginata and C. arvensis are very similar and easily confused.

 

The distribution of C. arvensis put at NPGS / GRIN, especially where it is native to, are countries in temperate regions.

Image results that show hastate leaves of C. arvensis seem to have a kind of bulge in the centre before narrowing to apex.

 

What I see as I. marginata, have its young leaves hastate and the older ones cordate.

 

I am eager to know where the confusion is.

 

 

Regards.

Greetings all--  I am by no means an expert in this family, and I am not familiar with the technical differences between the species discussed.  My chief experience with Convovulus arvanesis is as an extremely pernicious weed in Southern California (USA). It is perhaps the most difficult to control of landscape weeds there, particularly in groundcover beds. It develops a strongly-branched root system and is very resistant to most commercially-available herbicides. As such, I cannot recommend it as a landscape plant; enjoy it from a distance!

APOLOGIES !!! (Ken ji, Garg ji, and to all)

Photo posted by Janaki ji could be C. arvensis just as Ken ji and Garg ji pointed out.

 

I mistook the photo attachments in Garg ji's post to be of Janaki ji's.

My earlier posted message in this thread referred to Garg ji's attached photos ... I see them as different flowers.

[J.M. Garg]

Hi, Dinesh ji,

Do you mean to say that my attached pictures are not of C. arvensis?

[Dinesh Valke]

... yes, Garg ji ... that's what I believe ... not being adamant about it, however :)

I would want at least some friend(s) to validate that there is indeed difference in flowers (of Janaki ji's and Garg ji's)

and of course best if someone also considers the plant in your photo to be Ipomoea marginata (syn. Ipomoea sepiaria, Convolvulus marginatus).

 

I see your flowers matching what I have at http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=91314344@N00&q=Ipomoea+marginata&m=text

 

Here is the fine and bold print: I may be wrong.

 

Regards.

[J.M. Garg]

Hi, Dinesh ji,

I think you are right. I am attaching an additional photo which I found on further checking & processed. It's of the same , picture of which I attached earlier. Pl. confirm.

[Dinesh Valke]

Garg ji, yes, again - I. marginata.

Regards.

[Tabish]

I think Dinesh has put it correctly:
1. Photo posted by Janaki is Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis)
2. Photos posted by Garg ji are NOT Field Bindweed - most likely they
are of Ipomoea marginata
Although the leaves look very similar, the flower shape of the two is
different, if viewed from the side. I. marginata has funnel shaped
flowers with long, narrow "neck" of the funnel. Field Bindweed flowers
are more like cones, with almost no narrow tube above the sepals.
Also, the pink-white striping is typical in some forms of Field
Bindweed, although there are pure white forms also.
Best wishes

Thanks Saurabh, Ken, Gargji, Dinesh Valke, Tabish- not just for helping in identifying the flower, but also for a very envigorating discussion.
