Ipomoea lacunosa is a perennial vine herb originating in North America. It grows on roadsides or similar areas, with no hair through. The vines branch well, reaching several meters in length, and twine around other plants. Leaves, long petioles, are alternate, orbicular-ovate-shaped, occasionally cleft in three, and the tips abruptly become pointed, with margins entire. Inflorescences shorter than the leaves emerge from axils and set 1-3 white flowers. The flowers are about 2cm in diameter, funnel-shaped, shallowly cleft into five segments, with the segment tips pointed. From the front, it looks star-shaped. Bloom time: June-October.
