Often several to many, long, trailing, usually purple stems grow from the crown of the large starchy root of this herbaceous perennial which has flowers somewhat similar to Ipomoea macrorhiza, but which has smooth leaves and glabrous calyces. This widespread and relatively common native of the eastern U.S. is found throughout North Carolina on open, often dry roadsides, in old fields, and along fencerows.
