Satish ji, there seems to be a white-flowered form in Ipomoea carnea.* *The name *I. **carnea* f. *albiflora *Moldenke is now synonym to I. carnea. My plant was somewhat close to I. carnea but it was not that close to be considered a form of I. carnea. Flowers are also much smaller than and different from the latter sp.
Gurcharan ji, the varietal name I. soluta var. alba is not yet recognized by IPNI and The Plant List, not even under I. campanulata or Stictocardia. When there is change in genus name, will all its varieties automatically transferred to the new genus? In that case I. soluta var. alba should now be considered/called as Stictocardia tiliifolia var. alba???
