Calystegia pubescens / Hirugao ヒルガオ

 
Calystegia pubescens is a perennial vine commonly found in grasslands or on roadsides, propagating itself by extending its white underground stems; the vine grows and winds itself around other objects. The alternate leaves are hastate, 3-7cm long, with the basal parts overhanging sideways and resembling a pair of ears. Flowers singly come on 2-5cm stalks, born on leaf axils. Bloom time: June-August.
