Notes.
The name
Convolvulus incanus
was, and still is (
Hyam 2011
: 554), commonly misapplied to
Convolvulus equitans
from North America, although it is clearly indicated that the type was collected by Dombey; perhaps it was grown from seeds with the same origin as those from which the type of
Convolvulus hermanniae
was grown.
