Ipomoea kahloae is a species of flowering plant in the morning glory genus Ipomoea, family Convolvulaceae, native to the state of Guerrero, Mexico.[1] Known from only a few localities in semi-deciduous tropical forests, it has a number of distinctive features, including stems and petioles with pronounced wings, and magenta corollas.[2]
The specific epithet "... honors the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), one of the most influential Latin American artists of the 20th century. Frida Kahlo, besides being a painter, participated in many cultural, academic and political activities and was a social activist. Kahlo revived the roots of Mexican popular art and became a cultural reference point for the people of Mexico and its national identity."[3]
