Bush Yam
Ipomoea abrupta (Syn. Convolvulus abrupta)
 

A native of the coastal regions of Northern Australia, Bush Yam is a woody climbing plant that can be quite vigorous in the garden where it receives adequate water and food. Its large, mauve-pink Morning Glory-like flowers, produced freely from November to March, are an important source of nectar for bees, butterflies, small birds, and small reptiles. A vine or two in the garden will ensure regular visitors!
