This member of the Convolvulaceae family has been named by A. Meeuse in
1958. It's from Southern Africa, where it
grows in
well-drained grit, and get some water and lots of sun in the
growing-session. The flowers are pink.
The caudex can grow to twelve centimetres in diameter, the vines
grow to 30 centimetres. Ronald Kushner
writes: The seedpods of all Turbina are distinguished by having
leathery (!) seedpods, and although some Ipomoea may (!) have
'leathery type' pods, very leathery pods are a major feature of the
genus Turbina.
