Common Names: Morning Glory, Bind Weed
Description: Over 1,000 species in the Morning Glory or Bindweed family (Convolvulaceae) are known by the common name Morning Glory. Of these, plants in the genera Convolvulus sp. and Ipomea sp. are among the most common. This makes providing a specific scientific name for motifs of these flowers as illustrated on early chintzes impossible. The Hortus Kewensis, ed. 2, Vol. 1 lists forty-six species of Convolvulus and sixteen species of Ipomoea from both the Old and New World including Britain.
