The photo posted as Ipomoea muricata has the tube typical of something in the batatas series and the sepals most closely match those of Ipomoea cordatotriloba var. torreyana the entry here contains my comments on the lower portion of the page http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/109521/ Typical hairy Ipomoea cordatotriloba sepals can be seen here http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/163444/ http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/170278/ The photo on the wiki page could not be Ipomoea muricata of other night flowering Ipomoea species as all night flowering Ipomoea have a thin elongated tube designed for pollination by moths Here is the entry showing side-view of the tube of Ipomoea muricata http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/163635/ For your consideration regards, Ron
