Evolvulus

These plants are annual and perennial herbs and shrubs. They have non-twining stems. The leaves have smooth edges. Flowers are borne singly or in small clusters, or sometimes in spikes. The corolla is round and flat or bell-shaped. The fruit is a capsule containing 1 to 4 seeds.

The genus name Evolvulus comes from the Latin word meaning "to unroll", inspired by its non-vining form.[http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/gardens-gardening/your-garden/plant-finder/plant-details/kc/a121/evolvulus-glomeratus.aspx Evolvulus glomeratus.] Missouri Botanical Garden.
