Ipomoea fistulosa, Mart. (I. texana, Coulter). St. 4-10 ft. high, subshrubby, branching, smooth or minutely pubescent: lvs. 4-6 in. long, thickish, entire or nearly so: peduncles 1-2 in. long, mostly shorter than the petioles, few- to many-fld.; corolla about 3 in. long, bell- shaped, pink-purple. July-Sept. Brazil; now escaped from gardens in Mex. and. S. U. S.—It is known to the trade chiefly as var. goodellii (I. goodellii, Hort.). This variety has lavender-pink fls., with a darker throat, and is apparently more floriferous and desirable than the type. It produces seed sparingly, but is easily rooted from cuttings. In the S. it is hardy if the st. is cut down and the roots mulched: in the N., the roots must be brought indoors. Advertised as the "tree ipomoea."
