Discussion
Calystegia macounii is morphologically and geographically intermediate between C. catesbeiana and C. malacophylla and between C. malacophylla and C. spithamaea. It differs from C. sepium in habit and leaf shape; in the Great Plains area, it is most readily identifiable by its hairy herbage, C. sepium there being glabrous.
