Convolvulaceae

Convolvulus floridus L. f.

Guaydil, Guaidil, Anuel

A striking shrub that can reach over 4 meters in height and is typically heavily branched at the base with numerous upright shoots, which become slightly pendulous, especially during flowering, due to the weight of the inflorescences. Its specific epithet, "floridus," refers to the abundance of flowers it produces in large clusters. These vary in color, although they are usually white, but can also be observed with pinkish tones. Its deep green leaves are long and narrowly lanceolate.
