Description
[edit | edit source]Convolvulus remotus is a twining, perennial, terete, hairy, flattened stems, leaves oval-shaped or oblong, 1–8 cm (0.39–3.15 in) long, 5–40 mm (0.20–1.57 in) wide, apex pointed or rounded and a petiole 2–20 mm (0.079–0.787 in) long. Flowers are in a cluster of 2-3 or borne singly in leaf axils, funnel-shaped, pink, 8–13 mm (0.31–0.51 in) long, 8–20 mm (0.31–0.79 in) in diameter, peduncle slender, 5–42 mm (0.20–1.65 in) long with appressed hairs. Flowering may occur anytime of the year and the fruit is a smooth, globe-shaped capsule 5.5–8.5 mm (0.22–0.33 in) long and 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) in diameter.[2][3]
