UKT: When I compare the Burmese-Myanmar name
{kan-swun:} to other local names of the region, it makes me wonder why the names appeared to have a common linguistic root (See : Ipomoea aquatica in Sort Ipomoea (aquatica and batatas) names):
"• MALAY : Kankung, Kangkong (Indonesia), Kangkung (Malaysia), Kankong
"• TAGALOG : Cancong."
Note that THAI is differenent:
"• THAI : Phak bung (Pak boong, Paag boong), Phak bung (possibly incorrect spelling), Phak thotyot."
We must take note of the close (friendly and otherwise) relation between Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand (Siam) and also the geography of the region. My question was: did at least one ethnic group in lower Myanmar migrated through the sea routes to the Pacific region, or did it originated from the Pacific region.

Distribution in Myanmar :

• More common in the southern parts of Myanmar particularly the Irrawaddy delta,
where I was born. At the outbreak of the Second World War, my family (I was a
young child) evacuated to Pauk, west of Pakkoku, near Chin hills bordering
India. Pauk was a very isolated area deep in upper Myanmar. I remember my family
craving for this vegetable. None was available. My conclusion: this plant was
probably not native to upper Myanmar. This note should be read with my note on

Plant identification characters :
• Tuberous-rooted perennial, usually grown as an annual; top herbaceous, drying back to ground each year; stems forming a running vine up to 4 m long, usually prostrate and slender, with milky juice, lateral stem-branches arising from the short stem and usually not branched; leaves ovate-cordate, borne on long petioles, palmately veined, angular or lobed, depending on variety, green or purplish; flowers rare, especially in United States, like common morningglory, white or pale violet, axillary, funnel-shaped, borne singly or in cymes on short peduncles; pods round; seeds 1–4 per pod, flattened, hard-coated, angular. Fl. summer; fr. late summer and fall (Reed, 1976). -- www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Ipomoea_batatas.html
Distribution in Myanmar :
Part used and uses :
• According to Hartwell (1967–1971), the leaf decoction is used in folk remedies for tumors of the mouth and throat. Reported to be alterative, aphrodisiac, astringent, bactericide, demulcent, fungicide, laxative, and tonic, sweetpotato is a folk remedy for asthma, bugbites, burns, catarrh, ciguatera, convalescence, diarrhea, dyslactea, fever, nausea, renosis, splenosis, stomach distress, tumors, and whitlows (Duke and Wain, 1981). -- www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Ipomoea_batatas.html
• Cultivated mainly for the tuber, used as vegetable, eaten boiled, baked fried, or dried and ground into flour to make biscuits, bread, and other pastries. Tubers also dehydrated in chips, canned, cooked and frozen, creamed and used as pie fillings, much like pumpkin. Leafy tops eaten as vegetable and sold in markets in Malaysia. Greatly esteemed as feed for farm animals; with 3 kg green sweet potatoes equivalent to 1 kg of corn, with a food value rated 95–100% that of corn. Dry vines have feed value which compares favorably with alfalfa hay as forage (Reed, 1976). -- www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Ipomoea_batatas.html
Constituents :
• Per 100 g, the root is reported to contain 108–121 calories, 68.5– 72.3 g H2O, 1.0–1.7 g protein, 0.2–0.4 g fat, 25.6–31.0 g total carbohydrate, 0.7–1.0 g fiber, 0.7–1.0 g ash, 21–36 mg Ca, 38–56 mg, P, 0.7–2.0 mg Fe, 10–36 mg Na, 210–304 mg K, 35–5,280 mg b-carotene equivalent, 0.09–0.14 mg thiamine, 0.04–0.06 mg riboflavin, 0.6–0.7 mg niacin, and 21–37 mg ascorbic acid. The usual range of values for different constituents is: moisture, 58–75; protein, 0.5–3.5; fat, 0.2–1.5; N-free extract, 18.0–37.0; sugars, 2.2–5.6; fiber, 0.6–2.5; and ash, 0.6–1.5%. Indian types with white flesh contain little or no carotene, while American types with pink flesh contain as high as 5.4–7.2 mg/100g of caroten. Vitamins present in the tubers are: thiamine, 0.09–0.14; riboflavin, 0.05–0.10; and vitamin C, 16–22 mg/100 g. Sucrose and a few reducing sugars are present, but maltose, mannose, galactose, and pentose occur, if at all, only in traces. The essential amino acids present in the total proteins are as follows (calculated to 16.0 g N): arginine, 1.9; histidine, 1.4; lysine, 4.3; tryptoplian, 1.8; phenylalanine, 4.3; methionine, 1.7; threonine, 3.8; leucine, 4.8; isoleucine, 3.6; and valine, 5.6 g. The pectic substances (total, 0.78; soluble, 0.43%) present in fresh tubers contain: uronic acid, 60; and methoxyl, 4–5%. Other constituents in the tubers: phytin (1.05%), two mono-amino-phosphatides (probably lecithin and cephalin), organic acids (oxalic acid, 0.1%), phytosterolin, phytosterol, resins, tannins, and coloring matter. Sweetpotato contains calcium, 30; magnesium, 24; potassium, 373; sodium, 13; phosphorus, 49; chlorine, 85; sulphur, 26; and iron, 0.8 mg/100 g; iodine, 4.5 mg/kg; magnanese, copper, and zinc are present in traces. The spent pulp, or pomace, left after the extraction of starch, gave the following values: dry matter, 90.2; protein, 2.5; fat, 0.3; fiber, 9.6; N-free extract, 71.8; mineral matter, 6.0; digestible protein, 0.4; and total digestible nutrients, 69.0%; and nutritive ratio, 171.5. Analysis of the dried vines gave: dry matter, 90.7; protein, 12.6; fat, 3.3; fiber, 19.1; NFE, 45.5; mineral matter, 10.2; digestible protein, 8.9; and total digestible nutrients, 51.7% (C.S.I.R., 1948–1976). Of more than a dozen African vegetables, this was the richest in folate (1.93–1.96 mg/g) (Hug et al, 1983). Toxicity: Roots may contain the laxative ipomoein. -- www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Ipomoea_batatas.html
Germplasm:
• Reported from the Indonesia-Indochina and Middle and South American Centers of Diversity, sweetpotato, or cvs thereof, is reported to tolerate bacteria, disease, drought, fungus, hydrogen flouride, high pH, laterite, low pH, mycobacteria, nematodes, peat, savanna, virus, and weeds (Duke, 1978). Of the more than forty cvs that have been grown in the US, about 10 are of commercial value now. These fall into two categories: food types and feed types. They are further divided into dry or firm types and moist or soft types. The present outstanding soft-fleshed cvs are 'Porto Rico', 'Nancy Hall', 'Triumph', and 'Australian Canner'; firm-fleshed types are 'Big-stem Jersey', 'Yellow Jersey', 'Maryland Golden', and 'Orlis' (Jersey orange). The best, high-yielding white-fleshed, high-starch feed cv is 'Pelican Processor', which is somewhat resistant to stem rot, and is especially adapted to the lower South. Also 'Whitestar' is a white-fleshed cv, high-yielding, high-starch variety, better adapted to the middle and northerly sweetpotato areas than 'Pelican Processor'. Both contain less carotene than the yellow food types (Reed, 1976). -- www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Ipomoea_batatas.html

Plant identification characters :
• Ivy-leaved morning-glory is an annual trailing vine that flowers from July to September. Vines range from three to six feet in length and may reach a maximum of eight feet. The leaves vary greatly, but often possess three deep lobes. The funnel-shaped flowers, almost two inches wide, are generally blue, but can show traces of purple or white. Ivy-leaved morning-glories are found on roadsides, cultivated areas, waste places, and woodland borders. They are prominent throughout the United States, with the exception of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Ivy-leaved morning-glory is very difficult to control because the seeds are able to germinate in depths as shallow as eight inches. It is a resilient, fast-growing vine that may dominate the essential substrate, nutrients, and sunlight of other plants. -- http://oncampus.richmond.edu/academics/biology/plants/Pages/Ipomoea%20hederacea.htm (edited by UKT)

"Of the naturally occurring plant alkaloids used
in ... religious rites ... ololiuqui ... [is one of] the medicinal plants of the Indians
[of central America] ... "When a person takes ololiuqui, in a short time he loses clear
reasoning ... because of the strength of the seed, and he believes he is in
communion with the devil" (Alacon, 1945). Schultes (1941) and Wasson (1961) have
reported in detail on the religious and divinatory use of two kinds of
morning-glory seeds, Rivea corymbosa and Ipomoea violacea, among the Mazatec and
Zapotec indians. The first of these is assumed to be the ololiuqui of the
ancient Aztecs. ... [The] effects were similar to those of d-lysergic acid
diethylamide (LSD-25)." -- Morning Glories: The Naturally Occurring Psychedelics, related to LSD, by C.
