About Ipomoea sagittata Poir.
Ipomoea sagittata Poir., commonly known as saltmarsh morning glory, is a species of flowering plant in the morning glory family. It is native to the Caribbean, Mexico, and the Southeastern United States, where it grows in coastal areas. It has been introduced to the Mediterranean Basin, and this introduction occurred at least as early as the 17th century. Its introduction came from seeds transported via ship ballast soil, the ornamental plant trade, or through the movement of the species for its medicinal uses. In the wild, this species grows in thickets on barrier islands, along the edges of salt marshes, and in hammocks.
