Convolvulus arvensis By Matt Young July 10, 2017 11:00 MST Convolvulus arvensis – field bindweed, also previously known as wild morning glory. I read once that there is only one bindweed plant in the entire world, and its root is at the center of the earth. More realistically, I think there is only one bindweed plant in Boulder County, and its root is in my backyard, where it passes for lawn.
