Ipomoea triloba is a species of Ipomoea morning glory known by several common names, including littlebell and Aiea morning glory. It is native to the tropical Americas, but it is widespread in warm areas of the world, where it is an introduced species and often a noxious weed. This is a fast-growing, vining, annual herb producing long, thin stems with ivy-like, petioled, heart-shaped leaves 3 to 6 centimeters long. The leaves sometimes, but not always, have three lobes. The vines yield flowers that are tubular and bell-shaped, measuring approximately two centimeters in length. These flowers exhibit a considerable range in color, including various shades of pink, red, or lavender, and may or may not feature white markings.
