About Calystegia marginata R.Br.

Calystegia marginata is a species of morning glory that occurs in eastern Australia and New Zealand. It is a hairless, vigorous perennial climbing plant with twining stems. It grows in moist gullies in sclerophyll forest and on rainforest margins, and is widespread across the coast and ranges of eastern Australia. This species was one of many first published by Robert Brown in his 1810 work Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen, with the type specimen recorded as "(J.) v.v.". Its specific epithet marginata comes from Latin, and it probably refers to the plant's occurrence on the margins of rainforests.
