    hello everyone,

    I am blogging on the common weeds found in Cape Verde. With regard to this, I have a plant (vine) which I am not able to find the name of. I think its a very common weed. white flowers, dense brown haired sepals.

    The vine looks to be a type of Calystegia or Ipomoea, but the hairiness of the foliage is as confusing as it is distinctive.

    Thanks for replying Goeff. the hairiness is exactly my problem. I will ask my friends for its local name, maybe that will help.

    regards,
