Xenostegia tridentata, commonly known as the Narrowleaf morning glory, is a perennial creeper belonging to the family Convolvulaceae. [2] [3] [4] [5] It is widely distributed across tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australia, and has also naturalized in parts of the Americas. The plant is characterized by its narrow, arrow-shaped leaves with toothed bases and small funnel-shaped yellow to white flowers. It typically grows in sandy soils, coastal areas, wastelands, and cultivated fields, flowering throughout the year. [6]
