Ipomoea violacea is a perennial species of Ipomoea (morning glory) that occurs throughout the tropics, growing in coastal regions. It is most commonly called 'Beach Moonflower' or 'Sea Moonflower' as the blooms, white in colour, open at night. The seeds of this plant contain Ergine, which is said to have similar effects to the drug LSD.
