Pithecoctenium Elongatum

Pithecoctenium morning glory, scientifically known as Pithecoctenium elongatum, is a striking member of the Convolvulaceae family. Native to tropical regions of the Americas, this vine is renowned for its rapid growth and vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers. While it is admired for its beauty, it is also considered an invasive species in many areas due to its aggressive spread. Its ability to climb and smother other vegetation makes it a significant ecological concern. Despite its challenges, Pithecoctenium elongatum remains a fascinating subject for botanists and gardeners alike.
