Ipomoea barbatisepala, commonly known as canyon morning glory,[1] is a species of morning glory. It is native to the Southwestern United States, where it has been found in New Mexico and Arizona;[2] in these regions, its native range overlaps with the non-native range of the closely related Ipomoea hederacea.[3] It is also found in the west of Mexico.[4]

Description

The leaves are glabrous and deeply lobed, alternating on the stem.[5] The flowers are blue or rarely white with a yellow center,[5][6] usually appearing on the plant from July to December.[2] The fruit is a capsule containing several dark seeds. The plant can be distinguished from the similar Ipomoea hederacea and Ipomoea cardiophylla by the leaf shape; while I. cardiophylla has heart-shaped leaves[7] and I. hederacea has three-pointed leaves,[8] I. barbatisepala has multi-lobed leaves.[5]
