The [[genus]] '''''Ipomoea''''' ({{pron-en|ˌɪpɵˈmiːə}},<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref> from the Greek ''ips ~ ipos,'' wormweed or bindweed, and ''homoeos,'' resembling, referring to the twining habit)  is the largest in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Convolvulaceae]], with over 500 [[species]]. Most of these are called '''"[[morning glory|morning glories]]"''', but this can refer to related genera also. Those formerly separated in ''Calonyction'' are called '''"[[moonflower]]s"'''. 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.
 +
 +
Most species have spectacular, colorful flowers and are often grown as [[ornamental plant]]s, and a number of [[cultivar]]s have been developed. Their deep flowers attract large [[Lepidoptera]] - especially [[Sphingidae]] such as the [[Pink-spotted Hawkmoth]] (''Agrius cingulata'') -, or even [[hummingbird]]s.
 +
 +
Second, the genus includes [[food]] crops; the [[tuber]]s of [[Sweet Potato]] (''I. batatas'') and the leaves of [[Water Spinach]] (''I. aquatica'') are commercially important food items and have been for millennia.

Ipomoea (according to Linnaeus from ips, bindweed, and homoios, like, because of its resemblance to Convolvulus; but ips is a worm). Including Batatas, Operculina, and Pharbitis. Convolvulaceae. Morning-glory. Moonflower. Annual or perennial herbs, mostly twining, rarely trees (G.F. 7:364) or shrubs, widely distributed in tropical and temperate regions. They are remarkable for easy culture, quick growth and beautiful flowers; hence the genus includes several of our most popular plants for covering verandas and screening unsightly objects.

The generic characters of Ipomoea are not clearly defined. It is distinguished from Convolvulus by having but 1 capitate or 2-3 globose stigmas, while Convolvulus has 2 linear or ovate stigmas. From Calonyction and Quamoclit it is distinguished by its funnelform corolla-tube and the stamens usually included. St. mostly slender, twining or climbing,

From Calonyction and Quamoclit it is distinguished by its funnelform corolla-tube and the stamens usually included. St. mostly slender, twining or climbing, sometimes prostrate, diffuse or erect: lvs. alternate, entire, lobed or parted, often varying greatly on the same plant: fls. usually showy, borne singly or in cymes on axillary peduncles; corolla funnelform, salverform or bell-shaped (in one species bag-shaped), the limb sometimes entire, but usually 5-angled or 5-lobed (a 5-petalled form of I. purpurea occurs as a monstrosity), red, purple, blue, white or yellow, in various shades and mixtures; calyx without the bracts at the base, which appear in some species of Convolvulus, but the outer sepals are commonly larger. The fls. of most species open in early morning and last but a few hours under bright sunlight, hence the popular name. A few open only at nightfall.—Over 400 species of which more than 200 occur in Trop. Amer., chiefly in Mex.

"The Japanese morning-glories," also called "Imperial" and "Emperor" morning-glories, were introduced to the American trade from Japan in 1895. They are probably selected strains of I. hederacea, although some botanists consider them to be of hybrid origin, possibly I. hederacea X I. tricolor. Maximowicz referred them to I. hederacea, and this appears to be the more reasonable disposition. The culture of the "asagoa" in Japan amounted to a popular craze about 1830, the equivalent of 814 to $18 sometimes being paid for a single seed of the rare sorts. With political disturbances came a decline of interest, but more recently the popular fancy for morning-glories has again revived. The Japanese gardeners grow their plants almost entirely in pots, and by constant attention have made them vary into many curious oddities in flower and foliage. Several finely illustrated books on the morning-glory alone are published in Japan. See also "Century Magazine," 55:281 (1897). The Japanese ipomeas are sold in this country mostly in strains, each package of seed giving flowers of many forms and colors. There are some inferior strains offered, and the flowers from these are often disappointing; yet as a class the Japanese morning-glories are the most gorgeous and versatile of garden ipomeas. If the seeds are notched they will generally give bloom in six weeks from sowing.

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.

===Pests and diseases===
 +
Many [[herbivore]]s 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 [[caterpillar]]s 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]].

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.
