One or two exotic species have been introduced with Flax and Clover seeds, and have often much damaged the crops they prey upon. 1. CONVOLVULUS (including Galystegia). Annual or perennial herbs with cordate, sagittate or lobate leaves and solitary or racemose axillary showy flowers with or without conspicuous bracts. Corolla funnel- or salver- shaped, plaited. Capsule 2-celled ; cells usually 2-seeded. A large genus comprising nearly 100 species, found in temperate and tropical regions. The name is from the Latin convolvo, to entwine. Our native species of Convolvulus are all perennial and very handsome, though they are too common to gain many admirers. C. arvensis is the creeping species with white or pink flowers, often a great pest in cultivated ground; C. sepium is the large white-flowered plant of hedgerows ; and G. Soldanella is a trailing maritime plant with pink or pale purple flowers. 1. C. tricolor (fig. 177). — This charming little South European annual is the Convolvulus minor of 177. Convolvulus tncolor. (J nat. size.) Description is hardly necessary. Suffice it to say that it is a decumbent plant with silky foliage and large solitary tricoloured.
