Current name: Ipomoea biflora (L.) Pers. ( Convolvulaceae ). Note: Merrill (in J. Arnold Arbor. 19: 361. 1938) points out that the exact status of this name (and hence Ipomoea biflora (L.) Pers. ) is somewhat doubtful. Although some authors have informally rejected the name, Staples argues for its retention as I. biflora .
