The trade names of ipomeas are endlessly mixed. Thus, I. mexicana of the catalogues may be I. hederacea, I. digitata, I. Jalapa, I. Bona-nox, I. learii or I. tricolor; but is rarely the true I. mexicana of Gray. "Moonflower" is often applied indiscriminately to several species of Ipomoea, but it should be restricted to species of Calonyction. It is evident that most of the plants now sold as I. grandiflora are forms of Calonyction aculeatum. I. hybrida is a trade name for strains of I. purpurea and I. tricolor. The "tree ipomoea" is I. fistulosa. The "Japanese" or "Imperial" morning-glories may be referred to I. hederacea. Other popular catalogue names arc: Double morning-glory is mostly I. purpurea fl.-pl.; Brazilian morning-glory is I. setosa; hardy or perennial moonflower is I. pandurata; Ipomoea, Heavenly Blue, is I. tricolor.

Several species of slight ornamental value occur in the southern states, and are sometimes seen in cult. I. desertorum, House. Resembling I. hederacea but rough-pubescent and adapted to drier situations. Ariz.—I. lacunosa. Linn. Annual with small white fls., often with a pink limb. Pa. to S. C., 111. and Texas.—I. polyanthes, R. & 3. (I. umbellata, Mey.). Small yellow fls. in umbels. Fla. and Trop. Amer.—I. trichocarpa, Ell. S. C. to Fla., Kans. and Mex.—I. triloba. Linn. Pink or purple corolla 2/3 in. long.: lvs. 3-lobed. Fla., Ariz, and Trop. Amer.

The two following species of recent intro. are as yet not common in the trade: I. macalusoi, Mattel. Slightly pubescent, woody sts.: lvs. ovate-orbicular, abruptly acute and mucronate, deeply cordate; petioles long, somewhat villous: fls. axillary, in subsessile cymes; corolla large, campanulate, orange-colored, margined with red. Native of Italian Somaliland.—I. mahonii, C. H. Wright. An erect shrub with oblong lvs. about 1 ¾ in. long and 1 in. broad, obtuse at both ends, entire: petioles ¾ in. long: corolla-tube deep reddish purple, paler above, the limb white or slightly suffused with pink, over 3 in. broad. Native of Uganda.

The genus Ipomoea (pronounced /ˌɪpɵˈmiːə/,[1] from the Greek ips ~ ipos, wormweed or bindweed, and homoeos, resembling, referring to the twining habit) is the largest in the family Convolvulaceae, with over 500 species. Most of these are called "morning glories", but this can refer to related genera also. Those formerly separated in Calonyction are called "moonflowers". The genus occurs throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, and comprises annual and perennial herbaceous plants, lianas, shrubs and small trees; most of the species are twining climbing plants.

Most species have spectacular, colorful flowers and are often grown as ornamental plants, and a number of cultivars have been developed. Their deep flowers attract large Lepidoptera - especially Sphingidae such as the Pink-spotted Hawkmoth (Agrius cingulata) -, or even hummingbirds.

Second, the genus includes food crops; the tubers of Sweet Potato (I. batatas) and the leaves of Water Spinach (I. aquatica) are commercially important food items and have been for millennia.

Propagation

Pests and diseases

Many herbivores avoid morning glories like Ipomoea, as the high alkaloid content makes these plants unpalatable, if not toxic. Nonetheless, Ipomoea species are used as food plants by the caterpillars of certain Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). For a selection of diseases of the Sweet Potato (I. batatas), many of which also infect other members of this genus, see List of sweet potato diseases.
