Names
IPOMOEA L. [family CONVOLVULACEAE], (1753)
Information
Annual or perennial herbs or shrubs with erect prostrate or twining stems. Leaves entire, lobed or compound. Flowers axillary, solitary or in few- to many-flowered cymes. Sepals often unequal. Corolla usually funnel-shaped, usually almost entire. Pollen spinulose. Ovary 2–5-celled, usually with 4 ovules; style filiform; stigmas 2, globular. Capsule 3–10-valved. Seeds usually 4, glabrous, pubescent or covered with very long hairs.
Range
Some 600 species mainly in tropical parts of the world.
Notes
I. ficifolia Lindl. was stated to occur in Somalia by Verdcourt in Fl. Trop. E. Afr. (1963) and Gonçalves in Fl. Zamb. 8(1): 84 (1987). The record was based on Riva 1208, the type of I. ficifolia var. laxiflora Hall. f. subvar. auriculata Hall. f., but this collection was actually made in southern Ethiopia.
