Dr. S. Nakao, as a member of Nepal-Himalaya expedition party from Kyoto University, collected the seeds of wildly growing morning glory in Nepal in 1952.
The hypocotyls and veins of cotyledons have a red tinge. The hypocotyls and cotyledonary petiole have epidermal hairs. The leaf is three-pointed. The interval part of the lobes is cut fairly deep, so the entire shape of the leaf can be seen as narrow. The author designated this leaf the main lobe-narrow type. This strain is a little late in blooming (in Shizuoka-city, the end of July to the beginning of August). Its corolla is blue, the flower tube is white and the flower diameter is about 6 cm. The calyx has white epidermal hairs. One flower is generally observed per peduncle, but there can be two.
