Family Convolvulaceae

[edit | edit source]

The Convolvulaceae (bindweed, morning-glory family)...

Tribe Convolvuleae

[edit | edit source]
Calystegia sepium
hedge bindweed
Members of the Convolvuleae are mostly known as bindweeds and were originally placed in the genus Convolvulus by Linnaeus in 1753. In 1810, Robert Brown separated out those with large bracts covering the sepals, and called them Calystegia (from the Greek, indicating "calyx covering"), sometimes known a "false bindweed". Many questioned the seemingly artificial splitting of the Convolvuleae based on a single morphological difference, but additional differences were eventually discovered and after about 150 years, the split was fairly well accepted. However, subsequent molecular evidence has shown that Calystegia is likely embedded within Convolvulus, and future lumping and/or splitting of the bindweeds will be required to avoid polyphyletic groups.[1]

Ipomoea

[edit | edit source]
In general, the genus Ipomoea species are known as morning glories. Ipomoea contains a single New York native, known as the wild potato vine, and also includes cultivated sweet potatoes. The genus is here separated into three subgenera, corresponding to white, red, and purple morning glories.

Solanum subg. Leptostemonum

Solanum carolinense
horse nettle
Members of subgenus Leptostemonum are characterized by sharp epidermal prickles, lending the group the common name spiny nightshade. A well-known member is the Asian eggplant (Solanum melongena), which doesn't appear to have escaped cultivation in New York. However, a few New-World Leptostemonum species, including the two North American natives, Carolina horsenettle and buffalo bur, are part of this region's flora. The ivasive tropical soda apple (Solanum viarum) is also in this subgenus, though it hasn't yet been reported farther north than Pennsylvania.

Section Solanum is known as the black nightshades, maurella, or the Morelloid Clade of Solanum. This group contains the type species of the genus, Solanum nigrum. Species of this section are non-spiny, herbaceous, and suffrutescent (i.e. they have a somewhat-woody base that does not die down each year).[1]
