description
Ipomoea pubescens is a bulbous morning glory. Their stems are slender, twisting or creeping, and hairy with shimmering gray, backward-facing trichomes , but the hair loses with age. The leaf stalks of the leaves are 0.5 to 2.5 cm in length. The leaf blade is 2 to 3 cm long and similarly wide, heart-shaped, ovate, truncated or deeply three- or five-lobed. The top is initially more or less hairy with close-fitting, silky-felted trichomes, this hair also loses with age. If the leaf is lobed, the parts are unevenly shaped, sharply narrowed, blunted or pointed at the base.
The inflorescences consist of one or two flowers , they are accompanied by linear-awl-shaped and 6 to 8 mm long bracts . The sepals are hairy and ovate-pointed with persistent, silky-felted trichomes. The outer sepals are somewhat heart-shaped at the base and 1.2 to 2 cm long, the inner ones are lanceolate and slightly shorter. The crown is pink or purple-red in color, tubular-funnel-shaped and 4 cm long and 3 to 4 cm wide at the tip.
The fruits are almost spherical, hairless capsules in which there are four powdery, shiny seeds .
