Hi Dinesh, Spoke to Dr.Almeida. There is no comparison between the two. The flowers of I.triloba are much larger than those of I.clarkei. Please refer to Ingalhalikar's book vol.2 for a photograph of I.triloba. Regards, Neil.

References for description: Wikipedia ... http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Ipomoea_triloba Ipomoea triloba is a species of morning glory known by several common names, including littlebell and Aiea morning glory. It is native to the tropical Americas but it is widespread in warm areas of the world where it is an introduced species and often a noxious weed. This is a fast-growing vining annual herb producing long, thin stems with ivylike petioled, heart-shaped leaves 3 to 6 centimeters long. The leaves sometimes, but not always, have three lobes. The vines produce tubular bell-shaped flowers each about two centimeters long. They are quite variable in color, in shades of pink, red or lavender with or without white markings.

Sending photographs of some of the plants identified by him including some clarifications and corrections. Ipomea chinensis the only Ipomea species that can be confused with Ipomea clarkei has cordate leaves.
