Convolvulaceae Unlimited

This website (a work in progress) is dedicated to the Convolvulaceae (Morning glories and bindweeds), a family of climbers, herbs, shrubs and occasionally trees. Fifty eight genera and an estimated  1,880 species of Convolvulaceae are currently recognised.

A Bibliography for the family with more than 2,100 citations can be accessed by clicking on the "Biblio" button in the CONTENT menu at the left. An Introduction that explains how to use all the features in the Bibliography can be accessed here.

Pollen morphology has been an important character for classification in the family. The on-line Convolvulaceae Pollen Atlas can be accessed here.
