botanical.com - A Modern Herbal | Convolvulus, Field - Herb Profile and Information |
 | | The Latin specific name, arvensis, is derived from arvum (a cornfield), because this species of Convolvulus, though commonly enough met with in waste places, is one of the characteristic flowers of the cornfield. |
 | | The failure to set seed is, however, quite compensated for by the vitality of its widely spreading, much branched roots, on which it chiefly depends for its propagation. |
 | | The Convolvulus is very sensitive to weather conditions, always closing in rain, to open again with the return of sunshine. |
