Ipomoea setosa, the Brazilian morning-glory,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Convolvulaceae.

Its range is larger than its common name suggests and is native to Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil South, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela, and has been introduced to China, and the United States.

[1] Like many species of Ipomoea, this plant is cultivated for its flower blooms.

It is a climbing herbaceous tree that grows in a seasonally dry tropical biome, and has four accepted infraspecific named variations.

[citation needed] As with many species of Ipomoea, I. setosa reportedly has alkaloids that make consuming the plant unpleasant for herbivores.
