MORNING GLORY -- Ipomoea violacea. Family Convolvulaceae (Bindweed family). 

An American psychedelic morning glory (Ipomoea violaceaj. This species includes plants popularly known as "Heavenly Blue, "Pearly Gates, "Wedding Bells, "Summer Skies and "Blue Star —all of which contain LSD-like compounds. 

A facile synthesis of two naturally occurring 3-deoxyanthocyanidins from 2,4,6-triacetoxybenzaldehyde has been described <03S1878>. A one-step route to pyranoanthocyanins, molecules that have been found in red wine <03TL4887>, involves initial reaction under aqueous conditions of cinnamic acids at the electrophilic 4-position of anthocyanins followed by an intramolecular cyclisation and decarboxylation <03TL7583>. A tri-( )-caffeoyl anthocyanin present in the blue petals of morning glory, Ipomoea tricolor, is resistant to ,Z-isomerisation by UV-B irradiation, a property that may be important in plant survival <03TL7875>.

In a genetically based series of experiments, seed production of the tall morning glory, Ipomoea purpurea, was used as a measure of fimess. No observable reduction in fitness was observed in the presence of the herbivore sweet potato flea beetle, Chaetocnema confinis (Siimns and Rausher, 1987). On the other hand, the magnitude of cost of production of furocoumarins in the wild parsnip, Pastinaca sativa, in terms of umbel production, is significant (Berenbaum et al., 1986).
