    This member of the Convolvulaceae family was described by Robert Sweet in 1830. It is found in KwaZulu Natal through Mpumalanga and the Northern Province into Mozambique and Zimbabwe. It grows in a well drained soil with some water and lots of sun. The vines can grow to ten meters. The flowers are white with pink or yellow throats.
