Ipomoea tenuiloba is unmistakeable-- it is a twining plant with leaves palmately cleft into filiform segments and with several centimeter long white flowers. The flowers seem to open at night rather than during the daylight hours. The sepals are warty. Ipomoea tenuiloba is found on rocky slopes at middle elevation.
