Thanks for the information.
Hi friends here in India there is a flower called Shankhapushpi which is generally Clitoria ternatea (or Butterfly pea in English) as per my knowledge, whereas Convolvulus pluricaulis (a variety of morning glory) is called Vishnukranthi. But its only recently, while researching for the article, I realised the beauty of the lyrics as well as the flower, which though devoid of fragrance has captured the imagination of poets and has come to be known as a romantic flower.

But when I am searching google for Convolvulus pluricaulis, it is giving pictures of both the above flowers.Please confirm if both are same or is it that the white flower variety of Clitoria is convolvulus.I already know that Clitoria is a legume, I wonder the case with Convolvulus?
