Ipomoea calobra, commonly known in English as Weir Vine, is an Australian native plant [1]. It is found in northern Australia, largely Western Australia and Queensland [2].
The tubers of this species are edible, being an important source of food (bush tucker) for Indigenous Australians [citation needed].
It is a creeper growing up to 6 m high, with purple-blue-pink trumpet flowers from January to June. It occurs on undulating plains, dunes, and hardpans in red sandy & clayey soils, and pebbly loam [1].
