Convolvulus (Convolvulaceae) 3:496   Tasmania has one native and one introduced species of Convolvulus (C. angustissimus and C. arvensis respectively). They are both common species in dry areas. C. arvensis (field bindweed) is a twining plant with twisting stems, whereas C. angustissimus (= C. erubescens; blushing bindweed) is a prostrate plant without twisting stems and lobed or toothed leaves. They can be confused with Calystegia species, but almost always have smaller flowers.
