Merremia tuberosa, also known as Hawaiian wood rose, Spanish arborvine, Spanish woodbine, regretvine, or yellow morning-glory,[2] is a vine native to Mexico. It is an invasive species in a number of islands in the Pacific and Indian Ocean.[3] Unlike the well known "Hawaiian Baby Woodrose" Merremia tuberosa is not psychoactive, or has very little alkaloid content
