Neil ji, and Tabish, here are some of my photos of Operculina turpethum ... please compare, especially the flower bud is tell-tale.

... those of M. umbellata are I believe slender, and that of O. turpethum are almost spherical, and relatively large, with pinkish (or reddish) tinge.

 

... commonly known as: Indian jalap, St. Thomas lidpod, transparent wood rose, turpeth root, white day glory • Hindi: निशोथ nisoth, पिठोरी pitohri • Kannada: ಬಿಳಿತಿಗಡೆ bilitigade, ತಿಗಡೆ ಬೇರು tigade beru • Malayalam: ത്രികോല്പക്കൊന്ന thrikoolpakkonna • Marathi: निसोत्तर or निशोत्तर nisottar • Nepalese: निशोधि nishodhi, निशोथ nisoth • Sanskrit: निशोत्र nishotra, त्रिपुट triputa, त्रिवृथ trivrutha • Tamil: சரளம் caralam, சிவதை civatai, கும்பஞ்சான் kumpncan, பகன்றை paganrai • Telugu: తెగడ tegada, త్రివృత్ తెల్లతెగ trivrut tellatega

 

O. turpethum has host of synonyms: Argyreia alulata, Convolvulus anceps, C. maximus, C. turpethum, Ipomoea anceps, I. reptans, I. turpethum, Merremia turpethum, Spiranthera turpethum.

 

 

Regards.

Yes, I think Operculina turpethum it should be. My first thought was
Operculina turpethum, but the flower tube of Operculina turpethum
looked much broader to me, compared to that in Neil's pictures. But I
guess that was my wrong perception. The buds are really tell-tale.
Cheers!

[Pardeshi S.]

at first sight it seems to be differnt than Operculina turphetum. then
i checked it with other plant which has fleshy calyx, checke dit twith
Rivea hypocratiformis, Ipomoea alba, Ipomoea salsettensis.
but it closely matches with Operculina turphetum. the leaves in this
plant are very variable ranging from orbicular, ovate, linear-
lanceolate, oblong or triangular, apex acuminate or mucronate, base
broad, truncate, cordate or sagittate.

Pres. Bombay 2: 309, 1958 (Repr.); Almeida, Fl. Mah. 3: 344, 2001;
Singh et al, Fl. Mah. St. 2: 479, 2001; Pradhan et al, Fl. SGNP 418,
2005.
Synonyms: Convolvulus turpethum L. Sp. Pl. 155, 1753. Merremia
turpethum (L.) Shah & Bhatt, Fl. Gujarat 460, 1978. C. anceps L. Mant.

1810.
Common names: Nisothar, Dudhkalmi.
