Ipomoea hederacea Jacq. var. dillenii

Annual climber with cordate, 3-lobed leaves and blue or pale purple flowers.  [RHSD. Hortus].  I have been unable to discover how dillenii differs from the type.  See also Ipomoea hederacea Jacq.

Horticultural & Botanical History

Introduced to Britain in 1729.  [PD].

History at Camden Park

Seed order to Hurst and McMullen, Seedsmen and Florists of London, on 8th April 1846.  [MP A2933-1, p.132]. 

Notes

Pharbitis dillenii G.Don (1838), Ipomoea bicolor Lam. (syn.), described from the tropics of Africa, may be the same plant.
