Atlas Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) I don't know what this plant is, the flower is like a argreiya but the leaves are wrong, Im thinking a species of morning glory? If its useful for entho's it is covering my town by the acres!! These flowers are a bit sun and drought stressed, they look good in full bloom, aisde from being a noxious weed Edited January 23, 2010 by Atlas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 gerbil Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) not positive but dropped palmate ipomoea into google and it spat out Ipomoea cairica, mile a minute. Seems smack on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_cairica Edited January 23, 2010 by gerbil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 MindExpansion Posted January 24, 2010 Also, I've never seen this ipomoea or the other ones that are naturalised around here drop seed. Have been told that the other nativised ipomoea (the more purple of the two with leaves that look much more ovate) can have a small amount of actives in the flower and as suggested, tried infusing a bottle of white with a lot of the flowers, the taste itself is worth a try.

0 tripsis Posted January 26, 2010 Yes, it's Ipomoea cairica. You'll always find it on the coast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 procasterz Posted February 2, 2010 Hi all Ipomoea cairica is rampant on the east coast of NSW, does not produce many seeds. The plant your thinking of mindExpansion is Ipomoea violacea, another filthy weed that invades on alot of natives, also seeds rarely. Both should be destroyed!! Both have a low alkaloid content anyway. Its also in same family as Sweet potatoes, Convolvulaceae. Cheers procasterz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 procasterz Posted February 2, 2010 sorry ,yer totally right... I.violacea isnt a weed anywhere on the east coast.. I used to work in bush regeneration before horticulture, and we pulled out tons of the shit.. Cheers procasterz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 paradox Posted February 3, 2010 easy mistake bro, damn i feel your pain, pulling out Ipomea. the sap irrtates your skin & smells...wierd. you have to follow the tendrils for many meters, sometimes through thick lantana or worse so you can pull out the roots & all. then if you don't wrap it in bundle & hang it away from the ground it'll just reshoot roots yep, that shit sux for a bush re-generator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 procasterz Posted February 3, 2010 yeh the shit sux alright, it layers very easily.. Got used to the sap though. I wish it were violacea Rap it up and hang it a tree.You can also scrape near the base and pour a little bit of glyphosate on . Yer not a bush regenerator are ya xodorap ?
