Linnaeus (1753:159–160) thought the plants were from India, partly basing that view on seven references. Those sources, however, listed the plants in the Americas (Clusius 1611:8, 9), Italy

(Colonna 1616:lxxii, lxxiii), and India (Bauhin 1671:398; Linnaeus 1737:66, 1747:77, 1748:39;

van Royen 1740:430). Why Linnaeus ignored the Americas is not clear.

大师林耐在看到了列举出几个Ipomoea quamoclit 茑萝的分布地点（美洲，意大利，印度）的情况下，在其著作

Species plantarum 1753 中仅仅指出其原产地为印度（其实应该是美洲），叫人迷惑。
