Neil ji, I agree there is no comparison beyween the two species. The line "The flowers of *I.triloba* are much larger than those of * I.clarkei*." confuses me ... Ingalhalikar's book illustrate these species the other way.
Unfortunately and strangely. description of *I. clarkei* on internet is just not available. However there are many good sites giving description and illustration of *I. triloba*, for instance: 1) PIER Species Info -- http://www.hear.org/Pier/species/ipomoea_triloba.htm 2) eflora (Flora of China) -- http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200018860 3) World weeds: natural histories and distribution By LeRoy G. Holm -- http://books.google.com/books?id=i7JjRXH6uq4C&pg=RA1-PA418&lpg=RA1-PA418&dq=Ipomoea+triloba+description&source=bl&ots=uMeFlJN-8F&sig=Iml4L4teBT9LWaUskbQ_hqbZ6r8&hl=en&ei=R_XVSvD7FYzs6AP72bWzAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CCcQ6AEwBzgU#v=onepage&q=&f=false Many thanks Neil ji.
