Some extracts from Wikipedia link (for pictures/ more details, pl. click on the link): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_baby_woodrose *Hawaiian Baby Woodrose* (*Argyreia nervosa*), not to be confused with the Hawaiian woodrose<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hawaiian_woodrose&action=edit&redlink=1>( *Merremia tuberosa*), is a perennial<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perennial_plant>climbing vine <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vine>, also known as *Elephant Creeper*and *Woolly Morning Glory*. Native to the Indian subcontinent<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_subcontinent>and introduced to numerous areas worldwide, including Hawaii <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii>, Africa<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa>and the Caribbean <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean>, it can be invasive, although is often prized for its aesthetic value. There are two botanical varieties. Argyreia Nervosa var nervosa described here, and Argyrea nervosa var speciosa, as species used in ayurveda<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda>, but with little to no psychoactive value. Traditional use of the var. speciosa plant in India<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India>usually employed the leaves and roots of the plants, which are not psychoactive, as antiseptic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiseptic> and anti-inflammatory <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-inflammatory> drugs. The seeds of the plant can be consumed to produce psychedelic<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic>effects. 2009/4/12 sibdas <[email protected]> > > Yes it is Argyreia speciosa (Syn, A. nervosa, Syn Convolvulus > nervosus) , a woody shrub.
