I remember seeing an Ipomea on Bakkhali Beach ( 100 km south of Kolkata ) in 1989. Creeper growing on sand just above high tide. Butterfly-like leaves similar to Bauhania. Probable ID anyone ? No pix available. --- On Thu, 20/11/08, J.M. Garg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You are right that it growns in sand dunes and a sand binder. It is reported that it grows in intertidal zone too, and hence it is also included by the Calcutta Wild Life Society in their list of Mangroves and is being conserved in the Mangrove Botanic Garden at Jharkhali.
