Convolvulaceae

[TBG]

Hi all,

 

This is my first post

 

Have been browsing this site on and off for many years. Finally decided to sign up. My account confirmation came through today and convieniently coencided with me finding a plant that i am unable to identify. 

 

Unfortionaltly i wasn't expecting to post about it so i didn't get a lot of photos.

 

The plant is a strong climber with very hairy stems and buds. The flower was much smaller than most morning glory plants i am familar with maybee 2-3 cm across. The seeds seem to have a rough almost fuzzy coating.

 

Anyway i was on the job so i collected a few seeds then ripped the bugger out.

 

Any help would be appreiciated. My best bet is Ipomoea hederacea which seems to have medical properties 

 

Thanks

Tbg

i see the close similarities in the leaf shape to Ipomoea hederacea although the flower color is a lighter shade than im use to seeing, all in all id say you're pretty accurate with Ipomoea hederacea though

Thanks for the reply matt, 

Thats pretty much what i thought i also thought the flower shape seemed to be pretty consistent with the pictures of I. hederacea. Any ideas how variable the flower colour is in wild weedy populations of ipomoea ? The few plants that were growing all had the same flowers

id say it could variate considerably, maybe crossed with another ipomoea somewhere along the lines?
