Ipomoea sinuata, Ort. (I. dissecta, Pursh, not Willd. I. sinitata, Hort.). St. somewhat woody at base, covered with long yellowish hairs: Ivs. smooth or nearly so, palmately 7-parted, the divisions lanceolate or narrowly oblong, more or less sinuately cut and toothed: peduncles 1-2-fld., longer than the petioles; fls. 1-2 in. wide, bell-shaped, white with purple center; calyx as long as the corolla-tube. June-Sept. Trop. Amer, and near the coast from Ga. to Texas.—In Texas it expands only 2-3 hours at midday, and is there called the "noon-flower." It may be treated as a coolhouse evergreen, and is worth growing for its delicate foliage alone. In the N. the tubers must be wintered in a cellar.
