- Confirm leaf shape: Finely divided/fern-like.
- Confirm flower colour: White.
- In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: September-March.
- In India, compare location records such as Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand.
- Confirm it sits within the Convolvulaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Almovine.
