Ipomoea violacea L.
Ipomoea violacea L. has white flower corollas, distinguishing it from purple-flowered Ipomoea tricolor, and is often misnamed and misidentified.
Insufficient toxicity evidence; avoid direct contact and ingestion.
The corolla of Ipomoea violacea flowers is white. This white corolla distinguishes Ipomoea violacea from Ipomoea tricolor, which is commonly known as Heavenly Blue. Ipomoea violacea is sometimes mistaken for the cultivar Pearly Gates, which also has a white corolla. This misidentification likely occurs because of the species' misleading Latin binomial name: 'violacea' means purple.
