Dear Experts
Dear Friends
Kindly confirm whether i have identified these Ipomeas and the morning glory correctly. I have used the Treepix database as well as Shri Dinesh Valke's photos on Flickr.
I campanulata and I loncophyla have been photographed at a campus near Velliangiri Hills, Coimbatore this month.
I campanulata seems like a horticultural one as unlike others growing wild this was being tended to and carefully grown along with other plants on either side of a path.
The I marginata and Xenostegia tridentata have been photographed at Suchindrum, Kanyakumari dist, Tamilnadu ( backyard of my house).
The leaves and plant profile of I marginata and I loncophyla are similar and so i was wondering whether they are indeed two species or genetic variants of a single specie?
best wishes

Dear Dinesh ji
Confining myself to Ipomea campanulata
The information for Ipomea campanulata -
1. i have taken from those urls i found given by Garg ji for the tiny Ipomea and one of them was a website which had several images.
2. The leaves i saw in your photos for campanulata looked the same.
But i too have a small doubt because the plant i have put as I campanulata appeared to be a horticultural variety and not groing wild
Going through the net i found a similar one- claimed to be a horticultural variety, trailing plant used as a ground cover. The one i photographed was also on the ground trailing and covering the soil -could it be Ipomoea batatas 'Marguerite'?
This site ( url given below) has a lot of Ipomea images and the I batata 'Marguerite' may be what i am looking for.

Would love to hear your views.
I have attached one other image of this contentious Ipomea.
best wishes

... yes, your belief is truth !!!!
I also see the colours and their distribution certainly conforming to I. campanulata !!

presently confused ... not able to guess what it could be.
