Ipomoea Pes-Caprae Subsp. Brasiliensis

Ipomoea pes-caprae subsp. brasiliensis is a flowering plant native to tropical regions of South America. It is commonly known as the beach morning glory due to its vibrant pink or purple flowers that bloom in the early morning. This species thrives in sandy soils and is often found along coastal areas and disturbed sites. Its rapid growth and ability to spread make it both a popular ornamental plant and an invasive species in some regions. Despite its beauty, it can outcompete native vegetation and alter local ecosystems.
