Hewittia malabarica is a flowering plant in the monotypic genus Hewittia Wight & Arn., belonging to the family Convolvulaceae and widespread throughout tropical Africa, Asia, and Polynesia. It is a climbing or prostrate perennial herb with slender stems and flowers that are pale yellow, cream, or white with a purple center, and large leaves that can be used as a cooked vegetable or used in folk medicine with the roots. The stems can be used to make ropes. Description Hewittia malabarica is close in form to some Convolvulus species. It is a twining, climbing or prostrate, herbaceous perennial plant. with a stem that is velvet-hairy or pubescent (covered in downy hairs) and slender that is up to 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) long. These long stems can twin or climb into the surrounding vegetation, or they scramble over the ground where they occasionally form new roots at the nodes. The leaves are arranged alternately, with a petiole (leaf stalk) that is between 1–9 cm (0–4 in) long. They are oblong to obovate (teardrop) shaped, and 2–14 cm (1–6 in) long, and 3–10 cm (1–4 in) wide, with an entire (smooth) or dentate (toothed) edge and an acuminate (with a long point) apex. They are pilose (having soft separate hairs) to velvety (hairy on the surface), with a cordate (heart shaped) or hastate (shaped like an halberd) base. In Pondoland, Cape Province, South Africa, it blooms in May, whereas in China, it flowers and fruits nearly all year. the 1-3 axillary (arising from the axil) flowers borne on each cyme are found near the leaf joint,. Each flower is bracteate (with bracts), with a peduncle (flower stalk) between 1.5–10 cm (1–4 in) long. The bracts are oblong-lanceolate shaped, 0.7–1.5 cm (0–1 in) long, pubescent (covered with short, soft hairs) and acuminate (tapering to a point).

They are pale yellow, cream or white with a purple center, The petals are pilose (covered with soft, weak, thin, and separated hairs) on the outside in 5 bands. The stamens are about 9 mm long, located within the corolla tube and also enclosed.
