convolvulus
Morning glory relative
Convolvulus is a genus of flowering plants in the morning glory family, typically climbing or trailing vines with funnel-shaped flowers.
The name comes from a Latin word meaning to twine or wind around, describing how these plants spiral up supports.
Bindweed is the most familiar species—a persistent garden weed with white or pink trumpet flowers that wraps around other plants.
