Goat’s foot
Called “Goat’s foot” because the leaves have the form of the animal’s foot. Also known as bayhops, beach morning glory and Ipomoea pes-caprae.
They are salt tolerant and grow on sandy shores of the tropical Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. Because leaves are poisonous against most insects, only a few predators can feed on them.
Probably one of the most important plants to recolonize sandy shores after a hurricane or tsunami
