Thanks a lot Tabish You seemed to have solved our mystery and the confusion in Flora of Pakistan 1. Key is perhaps Stocks pro parte, which Pakistan Flora misread to assign to Convolvulus scindicus 2. The species was properly described by Stapf with characters totally dististinct from Convolvulus scindicus with distinct petiole, much larger leaves and different habit. 3. For now, till any new thing emerges Ipomoea sindica Stapf is a species in its own right and not synonym of Convolvulus scindicus as wrongly indicated by Flora of Pakistan.
