In the flora area, Ipomoea indica rarely produces seeds and rarely survives winters. It is probably native in southern Florida. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Ipomoea wrightii may be spread as a contaminant in seeds. The names Ipomoea heptaphylla (Roxburg) Voigt and I. pulchella Roth have been misapplied to plants of I. wrightii. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
