Discussion | The report of Ipomoea capillacea from Alabama (J. T. Kartesz and C. A. Meacham 1999) was probably based on a specimen of I. muricata. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Leaf shape in Ipomoea hederacea, and, perhaps, in other ipomoeas, is under simple genetic control and is useless for recognition of varieties (C. D. Elmore 1986). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
