- Any of several plants, of the genus Convolvulus, found in temperate climates, having small trumpet-shaped flowers. Toward it the torrent raced furiously, fed from above, where, down the left bank, transformed abruptly into a great wall of vegetation, water was spouting into the stream through thickets festooned with convolvuli on a higher level than the topmost trees of the jungle.
- A species of hawkmoth, Agrius convolvuli. 1922, Virginia Woolf, Jacob's Room, Vintage Classics, paperback edition, page 51, Already the convolvulus moth was spinning over the flowers.
