Brazilian Dwarf Morning-Glory
Evolvulus glomeratus
Evolvulus glomeratus is a plant traditionally not associated with any specific medicinal or traditional use. Scientific investigations have primarily focused on its micro-morphological characteristics, aiding in species identification, and on substrate preferences for growing plugs, which showed that perlite or wood fiber can be effective alternatives to peat. A new species, E. saxatilis, was identified based on anatomical differences from E. glomeratus, but no traditional uses have been documented. The scientific evidence does not suggest any significant drug interactions or major safety concerns for this plant.

Lo que dice la ciencia
- El estudio identificó características microscópicas compartidas y únicas entre los taxones de Evolvulus, lo que ayuda en la identificación de las especies.
- La probabilidad de fructificación en Lantana hypoleuca aumentó con la riqueza de especies vegetales pero disminuyó con la abundancia florística conspecifica.
- Se identificó una nueva especie de Evolvulus, denominada E. saxatilis, basándose en diferencias anatómicas con respecto a E. glomeratus.
- La estratificación del sustrato con perlita o fibra de madera altera el aireación y el crecimiento de las raíces, pero ambos métodos produjeron plantas de calidad adecuadas para trasplantar.
