Calystegia hederacea
is a perennial vine commonly found in grasslands or roadsides,
propagating itself by extending its white underground stems, the
vine growing and winding itself around something else. The alternate
leaves are hastate, 3-7cm long, the basal parts overhanging
sideways, looking like a pair of ears. Flowers singly come on a
2-5cm stalk born on a leaf axil. Bloom time: June-August. |
