************************
According to Bob Peterson http://eol.org/data_objects/15558949 this is one of our rarest native morning glories.
Beach Clustervine is a federally listed endangered species with possibly less than 700 individuals left in the wild.
This species is endemic to Florida dune and coasta strand communities and surviving populations are very fragmented.
