Ipomoea oenotherae is a species of plant in the morning glory genus, Ipomoea, found in Southern and Eastern Africa. It is a succulent and cryptophyte, named for its resemblance to plants in the Oenothera genus. It has fleshy, elongated tuberous roots and produces leaves every spring. The flowers are solitary and axillary, with five unequal, often pink sepals and five mauve to violet petals. The plant is found in mixed bushveld, grasslands, and cultivated areas, and is not common. It is distributed across Southern Africa, including Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa, and has also been found in Eastern Africa.
