Morning glory is a common name for various herbaceous plants of the morning-glory family, Convolvulaceae, but refers particularly to certain plants of the genus Ipomoea, which are annual or perennial vines of warm and tropic regions. Some species of Ipomoea have seeds containing narcotic alkaloids similar to LSD. The common morning glory, I. purpurea, native to tropical America, is an annual vine with hairy stems, broad, heart-shaped leaves, and showy, funnel-shaped flowers of blue, purple, pink, or white.
