Mr. Lear's Gaybine. Surely nobody ever called this Gaybine, Morning Glory is the universal name of this plant and its tribe, a name that has endured the many changes to the binomial listed below. Mr Lear's it is no longer, and according to Lindley in Edward's Botanical register of 1841, it never was. Lear was supposed to have sent seeds to Knight's nursery from Ceylon. In fact as we are told by Hooker this plant was obtained from Brazil.
Lindley gives an enthusiastic description of the plant which was the sensation of the season, grown in all collections of new plants. Its extreme ease of propagation must have helped with its popularity, but there is no doubt that it was highly regarded, despite its propensities to imitate its weedy cousins, the bind weeds.
This plant has become invasive In mild climates where the tuberous roots survive the winter. R. T. Lowe in his Manual Flora of Madeira predicted that, grown in gardens all over Funchal, it was about to "naturalise."
Listed at Monserrate in 1870
Ipomœa Learii drapes the whole summit of the wall with its great bells of deepest azure.
Fosberg (Bot. Not. 129: 35-38. 1976) has sorted out the complicated nomenclature for this pantropical species and established that Ipomoea indica is the correct name for it.
