All the connvolvuli have purgative qualities to a greater or lesser degree. In the UK we have 3 basic variants-field ,hedge and sea coast specialists.The specific Morning Glory that is refered to as a medicinal herb is the Syrian Bindweed (C duratinus), administered as a few grains to achieve a violent puging of the gut.

Again this is a entry related to the Ligurian thread

 

Illustrated is the British Hedgerow variant

So pretty! Now I know the specific reason for not eating morning glories! :P

this is a big family of plants with beautiful appearences and a bad attitude.Every year they creep over the fence and try to strangle anything they get their tendrils on. In this area they are mostly white but these examples were just a short drive away in a hedgerow.So they can kill by strangulation or poison! :Truly the tiny ninjas of the plant world. :ph34r:
