Molecular phylogenetics has shown that Ipomoea is paraphyletic, with Argyreia, Astripomoea, Blinkworthia, Lepistemon, Lepistemonopsis, Mina, Paralepistemon, Rivea, Stictocardia, and Turbina nested within it. Recently, these genera were lumped into Ipomoea. (3/8)

Furthermore, lumping genera like Argyreia into Ipomoea causes issues for conservation, like in the case of the recently described Argyreia pseudosolanum, a critically endangered species endemic to Thailand. from Traiperm & Suddee 2020 (5/8) https://t.co/ojZn5smZ25 https://t.co/TxuyrsUvTz
