478.5410 Genus Ipomoea L.; Sp. Pl. [Linnaeus] 1: 159 (1753), s. str.
Distribution: Tropical and warm-temp. regions, mostly tropical America (> 400); tropical Africa (ca. 160), tropical Asia (> 150), few Middle and temperate East Asia. After a new lectotype was agreed upon, several paleotropical genera were reinstated (see there) (Simoes et al. 2024). The genus still remains highly polyphyletic.
