Water spinach (Ipomea aquatica) is of East Indian origin and a member of the Convolvulaceae (morning glory) family. It has long, jointed and hollow stems, which allow the vines to float on water or creep across muddy ground. Adventitious roots are formed at nodes which are in contact with water or moist soil. They exude a milky juice, and are white or green, depending on variety. Water spinach has no relationship with common spinach, but is closely related to sweet potato (Ipomea batatas).
Water spinach is an herbaceous aquatic or semi-aquatic perennial plant of the tropics or subtropics. Leaves are flat, and vary in shape depending on variety, from heart-shaped to long, narrow and arrow-shaped. Narrow leaves are 1-2.5 cm wide and 20-30 cm long. Broad leaves are up to 5 cm wide and 15-25 cm long.
