About Ipomoea triloba L.
Ipomoea triloba is a species of morning glory in the Ipomoea genus. It has several common names, including littlebell and Aiea morning glory. It is native to the tropical Americas, but has become widespread as an introduced species in warm regions across the globe, where it is often classified as a noxious weed. This species is a fast-growing vining annual herb. It produces long, thin stems that bear ivy-like, petioled, heart-shaped leaves ranging from 2.5 to 6 centimeters (0.98 to 2.36 inches) in length. The leaves sometimes, but not always, develop three lobes. The vines grow tubular bell-shaped flowers that measure about two centimeters long each. Flower color is quite variable, ranging in shades of pink, red, or lavender, and may have white markings or lack them entirely.
