Ipomoea neei has small yellow and red flowers. The corolla is split into five distinct petals. Each petal is yellow with a red tip or reddish splotches. The anthers arc out of the center of the bloom noticably. The leaves are alot like those of Ipomoea lobata (mina lobata, spanish flag vine). They are dark green and vary between tri pointed and barely five-pointed. They have prominent veins.

Flowers form in clusters and are hummingbird pollenated.

Native to Costa Rica.
