CONVOLVULUS DUARTINUS. (Nobis.)
CONVUL. DUART. CALONYCTION SPECIOSUM. (D. C.) IPOMEA BONA NOX. (LINN.) CONVOLVULUS PULCHERRIMUS. (WELL.) MORNING-GLORY.
This is a climbing plant, cultivated in America and Europe. Leaves large, entire, cordate, alternate, on long petioles, generally arising from the axil of the flower-bearing branches. Calix with five unequal folioles, the three outer ones sharp, the two inner ones oval and foliaceous. Corol white, large expanding into a large circular limb. Stamens five, adhering by their filaments to the tube of the corol which is shorter than the stamens. Anthers linear acuminate. The base of the ovary is surrounded by a glandular disk; style very long, filiform, terminated by a shaggy, bilobate stygma; fruit with a coriaceous tegument. There are two or three flowers on the flower-bearing pedicels; they resemble a trumpet in shape, whence their Brazilian name “herva trombetta.” This plant blossoms in the summer-months. We employ the flower.
