Where do we find seeds?
Your assumption that;

1) Hawaiian baby woodrose, 2)Marijauna, and 3) Morning glory



do not have any fruits is wrong. They do have fruits as well as seeds.



Now let us look at each one of them critically.



A) Hawaiian Baby Woodrose- Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (Argyreia nervosa), not to be confused with the Hawaiian Woodrose (Merremia tuberosa), is a perennial climbing vine, also known as Elephant Creeper and Woolly Morning Glory.



Native to the Indian subcontinent and introduced to numerous areas worldwide, including Hawaii, Africa and the Caribbean, it can be invasive, although is often prized for its aesthetic value.





The seeds of the plant contain the alkaloid LSA (ergine), which is a chemical analog of LSD. As such, they are sometimes used as a legally obtainable psychedelic, though the legality of consuming the seeds is ambiguous.



( Note the reference to its seeds in the last para.)

Now the second plant--



B) Marijauna- this is a drug obtained from Cannabis plant. Now read further.--- Cannabis (also known as marijuana or ganja in its herbal form and hashish in its resinous form) a psychoactive product of the plant Cannabis sativa L. subsp. indica (= C. indica Lam.).



The herbal form of the drug consists of dried mature inflorescences and subtending leaves of pistillate ("female") plants.



The resinous form consists primarily of glandular trichomes collected from the same plant material. It has been reported that commercial hashish is often no more potent than high quality seedless marijuana. However, carefully produced and screened hashish is up to three times as potent as the highest quality herb.

Now the third and the last plant



C) Morning glory-- A number of plants are called by that name.

Now read below.--



Morning glory is a common name for a number of species of flowering plants in the family the Convolvulaceae, belonging to the following genera:



Calystegia

Convolvulus

Ipomoea

Merremia

Rivea

As the name implies, morning glory flowers, which are funnel-shaped, open at morning time, allowing them to be pollinated by hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and other daytime insects and birds, as well as Hawkmoth at dusk for longer blooming variants. The flower typically lasts for a single morning and dies in the afternoon. New flowers bloom each day. The flowers usually start to fade a couple of hours before the petals start showing visible curling. They prefer full sun throughout the day, and mesic soils. In cultivation, most are treated as perennial plants in tropical areas, and as annual plants in colder climates, but some species tolerate winter cold.

NO MATTER WHAT, SEEDS ARE ALWAYS PRODUCED IN SIDE A FRUIT ONLY.
Reply:How about this. you had two answers that had abvsolutely nothing to do with the question.



For those two plants I do not know. If you know where they are cultivatyed then write to or look for a web site of the chamber of comerace there.
Reply:Seeds are not the only regenerative routes open to plants.Root division , leaf sprouts etc. are among the other options.
Reply:Let them grow long enough and they will go to seed....like grass. The tops will produce a seed producing structure.
