This Jepson site should be of some interest to some of you. I think it is quite recent.

It is also noteworthy, that all the Calystegias are "PERRENIAL", with rhizomes or some caudex type root. From the few pix I have seen of them, they all seem pot worthy to me. So many are short vined and decumbent plants.

Yes. And they still refer to it as introduced. ??? I don't think it is. I think it is one of the older species. If we listen to the botanists, it must have spread world wide extremely fast. Anything traveling that fast would have gotten as much press as Hitler. lol At least it gives a chromosome count. Genetic information is scarce unless you are connected to a University.

Oh by the way happy birthday, I didn't sign the card. Frank
