Convolvulus tiliaceus Willdenow, Enum Pl., 203, 1809.

This species has previously been known from the Pacific only from Fiji and Tonga, where it was formerly usually called Ipomoea jastigiata (Roxburgh) Sweet. Otherwise it is tropical American. The Marquesan collections seem to represent a distinctive population with a few characters uncommon or absent in the variable, widespread American species.
