Abstract
Ipomoea batatas L. is one of the main crops in the world and is planted mainly for its tuber. This vegetative plant is hard to distinguish between their wide varieties during the harvesting period. We sought a general comparison of variations across different varieties of sweet potato leaves. A total of 6 different local varieties of sweet potato leaves were characterised for leaf width, length, thickness, area, shape, arrangement, margin, venation and the colour index (in L*a*/b*). The morphological characteristics of the storage roots were also found to be different for the different varieties. Hence, the leaf morphology can be used to distinguish the different varieties of sweet potato plant in Malaysia.
