Abstract

The occurrence of Ipomoea imperati (Vahl) Griseb. is here confirmed and clearly documented for the first time in Tunisia following botanical surveys recently carried out on coastal dunes within the north-western and central-eastern part of the country. General characteristics as well as original photographs are here provided for the Tunisian material. Phenology, habitat and ecological notes of the species in Tunisia are presented. Moreover, a discriminating key for known species of the genus in Tunisia is proposed.
