[Convolvulus pes-caprae L.; C. brasiliensis L.; Ipomoea brasiliensis (L.) Sweet; I. pes-caprae subsp. brasiliensis (L.) Ooststr.; I. p. var. emarginata H. Hal- lier] (ind) Beach morning glory, pohuehue, puhuehue Vines; stems long-trailing and often rooting at the nodes, fleshy to nearly woody, from a thickened taproot, up to 5 m or more long, glabrous. Leaf blades fleshy, often secund, ovate, obovate, elliptic, orbicular, or transverse-elliptic to reniform, (3—)5—11 cm long, rarely longer, glabrous, margins entire, apex emarginate or rarely truncate, mucronulate, base cuneate to truncate, attenuate, or cordate. Flowers solitary or occasionally in cymes, pedicels 10-30 mm long, rarely longer; sepals sub- coriaceous to coriaceous, unequal or subequal, outer ones usually orbicular, 8-9 mm long, inner ones ovate to broadly elliptic, 12-13 mm long, glabrous, apex obtuse and mucronulate; corolla limb pink to lavender purple, the throat purple, rarely corolla white, funnelform, 5-7 cm long. Capsules brown, ovoid to depressed-globose, 1.2-1.7 cm long, glabrous. Seeds 1-4, brown to nearly black, ovoid, trigonous, 6-10 mm long, densely brown tomentose. [2n = 30, 60.] Pantropical; in Hawaii occurring on beaches, occasionally inland, 0-460 m, on Midway Atoll, Lisianski, Laysan, French Frigate Shoals, Nihoa, and all of the main islands.—Plate 72. Our plants are referred to the Pacific subsp. brasiliensis, which has somewhat smaller flowers and less deeply lobed leaves than subsp. pes-caprae of the Indian Ocean region. A white-flowered form is known from 0‘ahu and Hawaii. Roots and leaves of this species are said to have been used as famine food, but cathartic compounds make its use dangerous. Its medicinal uses were similar to those of Ipomoea indica.
