Ipomoea pubescens
Ipomoea pubescens, the silky morning glory, is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Convolvulaceae.
The map on the iNaturalist information page for Ipomoea pubescens shows the locations of research-grade observations of the species in two disjunct regions. In the north it occurs from mountainous southwestern USA (Arizona, New Mexico & Texas) south through the Mexican higlands into Oaxaca state. Apparently the species is absent from Central America, but reappears in mountainous western South America from Colombia south to northern Argentina.
