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
.
