The representatives of the tribe Ipomoeeae are climbing plants or lianas , only rarely do they grow as small trees . The base of the leaf blades is usually heart-shaped. The flowers are radially symmetrical and hermaphroditic. Their sepals are of the same shape and occasionally enlarge after the flowering period. The stamens are flattened and hairy, the pollen grains are prickly and pantoporate. The carpels are completely fused into a stylus that has spherical scars . The fruits are popped and capsule-shaped or not popped and then fleshy.

The genera of the Tribus Ipomoeeae occur worldwide.

Argyreia Lour. : With about 90 species; they occur from Indomalesia to Australia
Astripomoea A. Meeuse : With 12 kinds; they occur in Africa
Blinkworthia Choisy : with two kinds; they occur in Myanmar and China
Morning glories ( Ipomoea L. ): With about 650 species
Lepistemon flower : With 10 kinds; they occur in the tropics of the Old World
Lepistemonopsis Dammer : With only one species:
