Film 7, #03 - Hedge Bindweed flower

Hedge Bindweed is easily confused with Calystegia silvatica, a very similar species that has been introduced from the Mediterranean region, but not recognised as a separate species until 1948. The two are distinguished by their bracteoles, which overlap in C. silvatica but do not in C. sepium. With this confusion between Bindweed species, those found in Brickfields Park are being re-checked to ascertain their correct status.
