Purpose of constructing this database |
Asagao, the morning glory (Ipomoea nil), with its many gene mutants, is one of the traditional horticultural flowers in Japan. In this database, the author mainly collected various images of the mutants of Ipomoea nil, closely related species and interspecific hybrids. Also included are gardening plants of Convolvulaceae. Each image is accompanied by a description and references.
Lists of related books and articles in various fields are provided, along with lists of older literature and Web links concerning the morning glory.
Selection of images |
As far as possible, the author selected color images that are different from those appearing in two of my earlier books, "Natural-color illustrated monograph of Japanese morning glory" (1981) and "Asagao, a gift from the Edo era: From dreams to science" (1995).
