{{Inc|
Ipomoea leptophylla, Torr. Bush Moonfloweb. St. 2-5 ft. high, with many slender, recurving branches: lvs. 2-4 in. long, entire: peduncle stout, 1-4-fld., usually shorter than the lvs.; corolla about 3 in. across, funnel- form, rose-pink, deepening to purple in the throat. Aug.-Oct. Dry plains, Neb. and Wyo., south to Texas and N. Mex. Plant World 7:5, 6.—This and the preceding species are adapted for very dry places because of the enormous tuberous rootstocks, which often weigh 100 pounds and extend into the subsoil for 4 ft. They sometimes thrive where no rain has fallen for 1-3 years. The plant is beautiful when in flower.
