Dr. Singh-- This is not a group in which I'm an expert. The garden cultivars of I. batatas selected for their leaf color variations are common landscape plants in Florida and as annuals in California to a lesser degree.
Though little more than an educated guess, I would be inclined to think that this attached link is of another species based on the larger number of "fingers". Of course, many lobe-leafed plants (Hedera, Schefflera, many others) can have a wide range of variation within the species, so I hate to draw conclusions on this characteristic alone. Sorry I can't provide more useful help. Regards-- Ken Greby. ________________________________ From: Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> To: Kenneth Greby <[email protected]> Cc: C KUNHIKANNAN <[email protected]>; efloraofindia <[email protected]>; TANAY BOSE <[email protected]>; Shrikant Ingalhalikar <[email protected]>; Dinesh Valke <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, March 8, 2010 4:25:51 AM Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:28899] Re: Climber 091109GS1 for ID from Delhi Dear Kenneth Kindly compare this image http://images.google.co.in/imgres?imgurl=http://image04.webshots.com/4/6/48/2/54764802qLYNGC_ph.jpg&imgrefurl=http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1054764802041641683qLYNGC&usg=__XimQIKSsCz4EYnTT0tDtOLrekFY=&h=480&w=640&sz=47&hl=en&start=4&sig2=ZcuqA03jh4KvSwVqZdGidQ&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=-B5uWMoBd6sq_M:&tbnh=103&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dipomoea%2Bdigitata%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26tbs%3Disch:1&ei=KeuUS6LpJY2trAeGtvyHDA I have seen several plants of I. batatas, and one thing that I find in this plant of mine is much thicker leaves, and pedate leaves, which I don't fond in your link or any other photograph of I.batatas on the net. I know the thread is becoming very long, but I have found no authentic specimen to convinnce me that my plant is I. batatas. Till then I will stick to I. digitata. I think the search continues. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
