The winds ( Convolvulus ) are a plant kind from the family of wind plants (Convolvulaceae). The 150 to 250 species are widespread.

description

Bindweed species are annual or perennial plants that grow as prostrate, upright or twisting herbaceous plants or as cushion-forming or upright shrubs . The stems are usually hairy with single or two-armed trichomes . The stalked or sessile leaves are simple and the leaf margin is entire or more or less lobed.

The stalked flowers are either individually or in differently shaped inflorescences in the leaf axils. The hermaphroditic flowers are radial symmetry and five-fold with a double flower envelope . The flower base is ring-shaped or cup-shaped. The sepals can be of the same shape or of different shapes. The middle sepal is asymmetrical, the outer half being designed like the two outer sepals, the inner half resembling the inner sepals. The sepals are permanent on the fruit, but do not enlarge. The crown is funnel-shaped or bell-shaped and can be white, blue, pink, purple or yellow in color. The coronet is slightly lobed or entire and has five more or less distinct bands in the middle of the petals. The stamens do not protrude beyond the crown and attach to the base of the crown. The stamens are flattened at the base, thread-like upwards. The pollen grains are elliptical, three or seldom four colpats and not covered with spines. The stamp does not protrude beyond the crown. The two-chamber ovary contains two each ovary chamber ovules . The thread-like stylus has two linear, cylindrical or club-shaped scars .

The two-chamber capsule fruits open fourfold or irregularly and contain one to four seeds. The black or brown seeds are often warty, hairy or rarely hairless.

Systematics

External systematics and phylogenetics

The genus Convolvulus belongs to the tribe Convolvuleae within the family of Convolvulaceae . In addition to the convolvulus , this tribe continues to be classified according to the current view, the genera of the windlass ( Calystegia ) and the genus Polymeria, which is endemic in Australia . Other species that formerly were assigned to the tribe, include the morning glory ( Ipomoea ), Jacquemontia , Evolvulus and Wilonia but showed molecular biological studies indicate that these species can not be assigned to the tribe.

The genus of the bindweed ( Calystegia ) was shown to be monophyletic in the investigations , but is located within the bindweed ( Convolvulus ), which makes this genus paraphyletic . So that the genus can be viewed as monophyletic, either the fence winches ( Calystegia ) would have to be included in the scope of the winch genus, or the genus would have to be divided into several smaller genera. These taxonomic rearrangements have not yet taken place, as more extensive investigations are required on a larger number of species.

Internal system
