Convolvulus remotus commonly known as bindweed,[2] is a flowering plant in the family Convolvulaceae. It is a perennial climber with pink flowers and grows in all mainland states of Australia and the Northern Territory.
Description
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]
Taxonomy and naming
Convolvulus remotus was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown and the description was published in Prodromus florae Novae Hollandiae.[4][5] The specific epithet (remotus) means 'scattered or remote in reference to its location'.[6]
Distribution and habitat
Bindweed is found on a variety of soils, including clay and sand, scrubland, woodlands, floodplains and gullies in New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, Victoria and the Northern Territory.[2][3][7][8]
