Convolvulus clementii, commonly known as desert bindweed, is a trailing perennial plant species, native to inland Australia. Mostly found on flat areas, like dune swales and claypans that are subject to seasonal inundation, in areas of open grassy woodland.[1]
Leaves variable in shape from base to tip of stem. White or pink flowers are produced predominantly from late winter to early spring but may be seen throughout the year.[2]
Seeds are dark brown to grey secteroid, 3 mm long, surface rugose and covered in hairs. The collection of seeds can be done January to December.[3]
The species was first formally described by Czech botanist Karel Domin in 1930 in Bibliotheca Botanica, based on a collection by Emile Clement between the Ashburton and De Grey Rivers.[4]
