'''Ipomoea pes-caprae''' is a very vigorous, creeping, or scrambling, evergreen, perennial plant with a large, thick root that can be 3 metres long and 5cm in diameter. With stems that can be 30 metres long and root at the nodes, the plant quickly forms a dense mat of low growth, completely covering the soil.
