Type.

AUSTRALIA, Victoria, Beauglehole 82670 (holotype MEL).

Description.

Perennial herb with densely adpressed pubescent, trailing or twining stems, similar in facies to Convolvulus recurvatus with which it shares the distinctive recurved fruiting peduncle. It differs principally in the larger corolla, c. 0.9-1.2 cm long. The leaves are strongly dimorphic, the basal leaves triangular-ovate with undulate margin and poorly developed spreading, obtuse auricles. Flowers 1-2; corolla pink; seeds unwinged. [ Johnson 2001: 22-23, f. 5-6, map 5]

Distribution.

Australia: Victoria and New South Wales (Jeanes 1703, Harvey 1854, Mueller 1868).

Notes.

This species occupies a situation somewhat intermediate both geographically and morphologically between Convolvulus recurvatus and Convolvulus angustissimus and might just be of hybrid origin.
