The [[genus]] '''''Ipomoea''''', with over 500 species, is the largest genus in the family [[Convolvulaceae]]. Most of the species bear the common name Morning Glory. The genus occurs throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, and comprises [[annual plant|annual]] and [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[herbaceous]] plants, [[liana]]s, [[shrub]]s and small [[tree]]s; most of the species are twining climbing plants. Many species are known as [[morning glory]], a name shared with some other related genera.
The genus includes important [[food]] crops ([[sweet potato]] and [[Ipomoea aquatica|water spinach]]) and ''[[Ipomoea violacea|I. violacea]]'', source of the Mexican [[psychedelic]] drug, ''[[tlitliltzin]]''. Species and cultivars of ''Ipomoea'' grown as [[morning glory]] are popular in gardens for their often stunning flowers.
''Ipomoea'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species - see [[list of Lepidoptera which feed on Ipomoea]].
