Hi Ardnalac,

Because Project Noah bases searches upon scientific name, (some species have innumerable common names), could you please add the scientific names to spottings you know? Thanks, and by the way, the scientific name for poison ivy is Toxicodendron radicans.

I hope you did not touch this plant, it will give you a very itchy, and oozing rash. Nice spotting, if it is around where people play or walk, I suggest you either stay away, or remove the plant, but wear rubber gloves and throw them away when you are done. A fun little rhyme I learned when I was a young boy, about this plant: Leaves of three, let them be. ( Don't Touch)
