Ipomoea cairica Mile-a-Minute Creek Weed
Common Names: Mile-a-Minute, Coast Morning Glory, Railroad Creeper, Messina Creeper, Cairo Morning Glory
Species: Ipomoea cairica
Family: CONVOLVULACEAE
Mile-a-Minute weed covering the banks and vegetation of a small creek. Fragment of the stem of this creeper when broken off will root easily so all parts of the plant should be bagged and disposed of if it's to be removed.
