Etymology
Convolvulus comes from the Latin convolvere, with con- meaning 'together' and volvere meaning 'to roll', so it literally means 'to roll together'. That's a helpful picture because these plants twist and wind their stems around other plants, so Convolvulus are named for their twining, bindweed habit.
