Dear The creeper habit, growth floating on surface of water, by hollow stems or marshy banks and leaf morphology is reminiscent of Ipomoea aquatica.
Ipomoea carina is plant with bushy, woody, shrub, stems not hollow but aquatic in habit. Carina is a alien aquatic weed while Ipomoea aquatica is native of South East Asia and eaten as vegetable in Phillipines etc though due to growth in polluted waters and bioaccumulation of mercury and metals it is a health concern.
