 Glenn Dale. 



Plants growing at the United States Plant Introduction Garden, 

 Numbered October 27, 1941. 



This is probably the hardiest tuberous-rooted ipomoea. The stems are herbaceous, 

 much branched, reaching a height of 2 feet with an equal spread. The leaves are 

 linear-oblong, about 2>2 inches across, and the large, pinkish-purple flowers remain 

 open until noon. These are usually borne in large quantities. The tubers reach an 

 immense size in age. Good growth and flowering occur under conditions that permit 

 few but desert plants to survive. Native to the western United States. 



Seeds originally collected by G. R. Viehmeyer, Stapleton, Nebr.
