-Egyptian Woodrose (Distimake aegyptius)

The Egyptian Woodrose (Distimake aegyptius), also commonly known as the Hairy Woodrose, is a vigorous twining or creeping perennial vine in the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae. A defining physical characteristic that distinguishes it from related species is the presence of long, stiff, yellowish-brown hairs that densely cover its stems and leaf stalks. The plant produces funnel-shaped white flowers, often in small clusters, that bloom primarily in response to rainfall and close by the afternoon.
