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!

I have come to believe Ipomoea marginata to be what I have here: http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=91314...@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.

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

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!
