"Morning glory" is well known as the name of a flower. I have not heard of "aquatica." (But that could just be my own ignorance.)

@TuongVyNguyen Sorry, I don't. The leaves are too skinny to be a basil, and not fuzzy or blue enough to be sage, and not thyme or watercress, it doesn't seem. From your earlier question, I wonder whether it might not be _water_ morning glory or _water_ spinach? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_aquatica. The "morning glory" flower that is common in the U.S. is a vine with large, broad, spade-shaped leaves that look very different from your photo. With luck, someone else here can give you a better answer as to the English name for the plant in your photo.

@TuongVyNguyen sorry I was thinking of flowers. The article I mentioned calls "rau muống" water spinach, and says it's used in making "canh chua." I don't know whether that helps you.

@MishaTr Yes. We're calling it "rau muống". When I search "morning glory vegetable" or "water morning glory" on google, I got the same vegatable. When i asked, many people didn't know it. I thought "morning glory" is unpopular.
Thanks for your enthusiasm.
