Abstract :

 The minor venation pattern in certain species provides taxonomic and evolutionary clues. Foliar venation patterns act as device for the identification of various species  In the present investigation minor leaf venation pattern of  16 South Indian species of Ipomoea were studied. The study reveals that the Ipomoea species shows simple, linear curved, once, twice and thrice  anched minor leaf venation with polygonal leaf areole. Size of the leaf areole is concerned  highest length and eadth  is reported in I. coptica.
