Morning glory Ipomoea nil (= Pharbitis nil)

Rinpuu, Blown, Blown (B)

Copyright 1998-2017 Yoshiaki Yoneda

As the leaf veins continuing from the leaf petiole twist, the whole leaf seems to undulate. This was named Rinpuu (forest wind) because it resembles swaying leaves in a wind-blown forest. Such elegant names were frequently given in ancient times. The blown gene is dominant. The flower is the normal round type.
