The Convolvulaceae contains ca. 67 genera and 1,300 species of vines, herbs, trees, and shrubs. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, but the majority of species occurs in the tropics. The Convolvulaceae grow in tropical and temperate forests, savannas, riverine habitats, and in open disturbed vegetation. The flowers are funnel-shaped, radially symmetrical, with five sepals and five fused petals. The leaves are simple and alternate. In parasitic species leaves are reduced to scales.
