Ipomoea palmata |
Ipomoea cairica is a species of morning glory known by many common names, including Messina creeper, coast morning glory, Cairo morning glory, railroad creeper, and mile-a-minute vine. Its native range is uncertain but it can be found on most continents as an introduced species and often a noxious weed. It is a major problem along the coast of New South Wales. This is a vining perennial with palmate leaves and large, showy white to lavender flowers.
