Catharanthus roseus

Hello. This is indeed Catharanthus roseus. That is its scientific name. In order for the database behind Project Noah's website to consider your spotting identified, Catharanthus roseus needs to be entered in the scientific name space. Instead of repeating the scientific name twice, please use a common name in common name space. This plant is called Madagascar periwinkle but other English names occasionally used include Cape periwinkle, rose periwinkle, rosy periwinkle, and "old-maid". You can list one or two of those names in the common name space separated by a comma. Thanks.
