Jacquemontia abutiloides is a species of vining plant in the bindweed family (Convolvulaceae) commonly known as the felt-leaf clustervine or felt-leaf morning-glory. A perennial characterized by wooly leaves and blue to whitish flowers, this species grows as a woody plant to shrub with vining upper stems. Flowering is from September to June. It is near-endemic to the Baja California peninsula, Mexico, concentrated mostly around the central peninsula south of the Vizcaino Desert, and found on some of the coastal islands.[2]
A perennial plant, this species has a woody base and may grow into a shrubby habit. The upper stems are vining, and are covered in moderately tomentose leaves. The leaves are petiolate, with the margins entire (the edges of the leaves are not serrated) and a cordate base. From September to June, the plant is in bloom. The flowers are blue to white and campanulate-rotate (shaped like a bell or a spreading like a wheel), with a very short corolla tube.[2]
