Ipomea aquatica (Convolvulaceae) - kangkung, the water convolvulus

  1. Are there lots of them in Kuching?

    With development and dust allaround these kangkong cannot thrive....

    In Miri the lakes or ponds around Curtin are full of them.

    Kangkong seem to be a bad and damaging weed in the US.

  2. Hi Sarawakiana,

    Nice of you to drop by.

    There are not so much kangkung around Kuching but you can find them further away, particularly in the swamp like Samarahan area. I guess there a plenty in Miri (around Curtin area)due to the swamp.
