About: By far the most common morning-glory found near the coast, this often grows aggressively in other plants. It has beautiful flowers, white to pink, funnel-shaped, often pink striped below. Its most distinctive feature is how its calyx is enclosed (or closely subtended) by a pair of large, widely ovate to rounded, sepal-like bracts with notched or narrowly pointed tips. Leaves are triangular, and the sinus is variable: acute, rounded or squarish.
