Garg ji
There has been a confusion in the name Ipomoea sindica Stapf. described in
1894 from Sind and Baluchistan in Pakistan. This is a small shrub with
thick small leaves, obovate in shape, tomentose, sessile and barely 5-10 mm
long. This is in fact now known as Convolvulus scindicus Stocks, 1852.
The above plant of Balkar ji is Ipomoea eriocarpa R. Br., a much
different plant, a climbing herb with distinctly petiolate leaves, cordate
at base and 2.5-9 cm long. It was wrongly identified by Jafri (editor of
Pakistan Flora) as Ipomoea sindica.
The confusion has been discussed in the following paper:

In fact there is no accepted name as Ipomoea sindica at present.
