Conservation
Least Concern (LC).
Ecology
As generally interpreted this species is amphitropical in the Americas, being found in the United States and Mexico in the northern hemisphere while in the southern hemisphere it is found in Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil, in the last of which it is apparently rare and perhaps limited to Mato Grosso do Sul from where we have seen a handful of specimens, for example, A. Pott et al. 2929 (MBM) from Fazenda Nhumirim, Corumba, 18°59'S 56°39'N. In Bolivia it is common around Santa Cruz but sporadic and uncommon elsewhere but found in the Yungas as well as the Chaco. It is a lowland species not usually found above 1000 m.
Morphology General Habit
Slender twining (occasionally trailing) annual herb, stems to 3 m, glabrous, thinly pilose with long white hairs or densely pubescent
Morphology Leaves
Leaves petiolate, 2.5 – 8 × 1.5 – 6 cm, ovate-deltoid, or shallowly 3-lobed, narrowly cordate with rounded, entire or dentate auricles, apex shortly acuminate, mucronate, glabrous or thinly pilose on veins and margins or pubescent; petioles 0.5 – 5 cm
Morphology Reproductive morphology Fruits
Capsule subglobose, 7 – 8 mm, pilose; seeds brown, hemispherical, 3.5 mm long, glabrous
Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences
Inflorescence of axillary, pedunculate, umbelliform cymes, usually with 1 – 5 (– 9) flowers and more lax than in Ipomoea batatas; peduncles 2 – 9 cm; bracteoles 5 – 7 mm, filiform, pilose, relatively persistent; pedicels 4 – 9 mm; sepals subequal, usually ciliate with stiff spreading hairs, occasionally glabrous, outer sepals 8 – 11 mm, ovate, gradually narrowed to an outwardly curved fine point, the central vein usually distinct, inner sepals 10 – 12 mm, obovate, abruptly or gradually narrowed to a mucronate apex, less hairy; corolla 2.5 – 4 cm, gradually widened from base, pink with a dark centre, glabrous, limb c. 2.5 cm diam., unlobed
Note
Flowers at the end of the rainy season from February to July.

A very variable species in indumentum, leaf shape, shape of outer sepals and corolla length. The sepals are commonly ciliate.Wood et al. 27611 (K, LPB, USZ) from Villamontes, Gran Chaco, appears to be Ipomoea cordatotriloba but the ovary and capsule are glabrous.Specimens from South America have been treated as a var. australis O’Donell but in the uncertain taxonomic status of all taxa in this group it seems premature to recognise this.

Type
