yes Pankaj ji It is this Ipomoea sindica Stapf, which I had mentioned in my two communications and which according to Flora of Pakistan cited by me above is now correctly known as Convolvulus scindicus Stocks. Please Remember Stapf did not describe a new plant, he merely gave a combination Ipomoea sindica (dropping c). The species is now considered belonging to genus Convolvulus.
I don't have Flora of Indian Desert by M M Bhandari, but have hard copy of Flora of W Pakistan published in 1979, which also considers Ipomoea sindica (Stocks) Stapf as synonym of Convolvulus scindicus Stocks. Perhaps this comparison between Convolvulus scindicus and Ipomoea eriocarpa should help to resolve the issue Convolvulus scindicus Ipomoea eriocarpa 1. Shrub or undershrub 1. Plant a twinning herb or prostrate 2. Leaves 5-10 mm long, sessile, succulent. 2. Leaves 25-90 mm long, petiole almost as long as blade, not succulent 3. Leaf base not cordate at base, margin undulate. 3. Leaf cordate at base, margin not undulate. 4. Corolla c. 12 mm long. 4. Corolla 7-9 mm long. 5. Ovary (obviously capsule) glabrous. 5. Capsule pubescent 6. Seed one 6. Seeds more than one 7. Stigma filiform 7. Stigma globose Frankly I have not seen any of these two but my conclusions are based on published information. Perhaps you can go through the description given in Flora of Indian Desert to arrive at the conclusion of which is intended.If it matches the second, then perhaps some thing is wrong.
