I require your help in identifying the above Convolvulace weed which is fast spreading in Bangalore and is much more dominating than Parthenium. I am attaching the photo along with this mail. Would be grateful if u could help me in identifying this plant.

I think it is Ipomoea staphylina, Dr. Vijayasankar's identification is right

If the diameter of flowers are around 2cm, it could be I. staphylina.

I am grateful to you all for helping me identify the plant. I do
agree that it very closely resembles Ipomoea staphylina. I am indeed
privileged to get assistance from you all. I had referred various
floras including bangalore but in vain. I am grateful for this group
which has provided a platform for identification. Kudos to you all.
For all of you my heartfelt gratitude for your help. I am proud to be
a member of this group.
