INTRODUCTION Genus Ipomoea is represented by 500 species (Mabberley 2008). Choisy has described in his work family Convolvulaceae. Clarke in Hookers flora of British India (1885) treated this species as the varietal level i.e. Ipomoea pes-tigridis L. var. capitellata. While examining the tremendous diversity of the species and variety the authors studied the germinating pattern in both the species which was found to be different from each other. Therefore, these appear to have either a separate stock of the origin or Ipomoea pes-tigridis must have evolved from the Ipomoea capitellata Choisy var. multilobata Bhellum var. nov. Based on the fact, that the evolution takes place from simple leaves Ipomoea capitellata Choisy to deeply lobed leaves and segments narrow on both the ends in Ipomoea pes-tigridis L. Bhati and Sen (1978) described I. pes-tigridis as a autogamous and genetically polymorphic weed. Wilkin (1995) described a new species from Mexico on the basis of morphology and further conformation on pollen. Bhellum and Magotra (2011) described a new record for the flora of Jammu and Kashmir State. Although polymorphism occurs in family Convolvulaceae in general and genus Ipomoea in particular but how it occurs is the most important because the pattern of the polymorphism is the most important in systematic discipline. The simple leaves with entire margin in Ipomoea pes-tigridis L. var. capitellata is not the variety of Ipomoea pes-tigridis as described by Clarke in Hookers flora of British India. As Ipomoea capitellata is the earlier stock which gave rise to the Ipomoea pes-tigridis later as per its modification of incision of lamina from entire to deeply dissected .The pattern of leaves occurrence in the early stage of their germination are quite different. The Photographs of the leaves of two species are given here to mark the point of difference. The specimens are deposited in the Herbarium, University of Jammu, Jammu. Key to the species 1+ Seedlings bear simple or slightly dissected in 2 nd

Ipomoea capitellata (Clarke) Bhellum var. multilobata Bhellum (Fig. 1.) Annual, stem straggling or twining with long spreading hairs; leaves 3.8-10 cm long usually a few to multilobed, lobes ovate, acute or acuminate, narrowed at the base, hirsute on both the surfaces; petiole 3.8-7.5 cm Bhellum, 2012 061 Journal of Research in Plant Sciences (2012) 1: 060-062 Ipomoea capitellata Choisy Ipomoea pes-tigridis L.var. multibobata Bhellum Fig.1: Ipomoea capitellata Choisy Bhellum var. multilobata Bhellum long, very hairy; flowers sessile, 3 or more in a head; peduncle 2.5- 7.5 cm long, hairy; outer bracts nearly 2.5 cm, inner ones 1cm long, all ovate-oblong, sub-obtuse, hairy; sepals 8- 13 mm long, densely hairy, ciliate with long stiff hairs; outer sepals broader than the inner ovate- laceolate, the inner three linear-oblong, acute; corolla ca ca 3 cm long tubular, campanulate, white or pale-pink; capsule 6 mm across, globose, glabrous, papery, concealed in the calyx; seeds 5 mm long, grey, pubescent. var. differet in folia multilobata. Occurrence Straggling on the shrubs of the wastelands in the surroundings of Jammu. Specimens examined The specimens were collected from the ridges of Jammu. The flowers open mostly in the evening. Flowering and Fruiting: August- October
DISCUSSION In the process of evolution, the lobes occur from the simple to dissected not from the dissected to simple. Therefore, I. capillata Choisy is a different species and not the variety I. pes-tigridis. During the course of evolution I. pes-tigridis has been evolved from the static characters of shallowly lobed leaves. There seems to be two lines of evolution from Ipomoea capitellata and I. Pes-tigridis. The other characteristics which attract the attention are texture of leaves, intermixed pubescence, high state of variability in the vegetative and floral morphology.
