  Convolvulaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Convolvulaceae, the bindweed or morning glory family, is a group of about 60 genera and more than 1,650 species of mostly herbaceous vines, but also trees, shrubs and herbs.
They can easily be recognized by their funnel-shaped radially symmetrical flowers.

 Stefanovic, Sasa* and Richard G. Olmstead.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Convolvulaceae are a large family, comprising approximately 50-60 genera with some 1600-1700 species, the members of which present a rich diversity of morphological characteristics and ecological habitats.
In order to circumscribe the family and assess the relationships among its major lineages, a broad data set was constructed, containing representatives of all ten recognized tribes of Convolvulaceae plus representatives of putatively related families within Asteridae.
The results indicate that Convolvulaceae are sister to Solanaceae, with 100% bootstrap support for each family and the clade comprising both families.

 Convolvulaceae
The Convolvulaceae is dominated by twining or climbing woody or herbaceous plants that often have heart-shaped leaves and funnel-shaped flowers.
Several authors have suggested that the family most closely related to Convolvulaceae is the Solanaceae, while others nominate the Polemoniaceae or Boraginaceae.
Convolvulaceae range from tropical rainforest to savannas, prairies, and deserts.

 CONVOLVULACEAE - Morning-glory Family
Commentary: The Convolvulaceae have been divided into three or four subfamilies (sometimes segregated as distinct families) and/or three to ten tribes.
A notable segregate group, the Cuscutoideae or Cuscutaceae (a monotypic taxon), has been separated from the rest of the Convolvulaceae by some botanists on the basis of the parasitic habit with related specializations of the corolla and embryo (Momin 1977).

 CHAPTER 31. CONVOLVULACEAE
The Convolvulaceae comprise roughly 1000 species of shrubs and herbaceous plants in about 50 genera.
The major problem in seed germination tests of the Convolvulaceae is the presence of the seed coat which can delay or prevent imbibition: that is, hardseededness is a common problem.
The seeds are non-endospermic, and B.R. Atwater classifies seed morphology as non-endospermic seeds with axile foliar embryos within hard seed coats (see Table 17.2, Chapter 17).
