|discussion=<p>In the flora area, Convolvulus hermanniae L’Héritier and C. incanus Vahl were long misapplied to C. equitans, and plants of C. crenatifolius were formerly identified as C. equitans.</p><!--
--><p>B. L. Turner (2009) indicated that Convolvulus carrii differs from C. equitans by having herbage more densely silvery-hairy, leaf blades thicker and with veins more pronounced, peduncles longer, seeds smoother, and habitat restricted to fine sands in southern Texas, but these differences are not regarded here as significant.</p>
