I have been seeing this semiclimbing/trailing herb in Delhi University, which I thought is I. batatas. We have been growing this in our botanical garden also. I am uploading the the photographs of the same. The two plants are so different according to me. I am greatly confused now because Shrikant ji had also suggested I. batatas ad ID for my 091109GS1. So either my I. batatas is something else, or we have still to resolve identity of my digitate leaf climber. As per my information (I had sent a link also) I. digitata also has tuberous roots like I. batatas but leaves are digitate as in my plant for ID. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
