UVA-Wise Professor Ryan Huish’s local flora class made an interesting discovery as they worked to identify the weeds that sprouted in planters outside the Sandridge Science Center. “On our first lab session for the local flora class, they were introduced to the basic concepts of how to identify a plant to family, genus and species,” Huish explained. “This was the first plant they practiced on, and after about 20 minutes, the identification key took them right to it: Giant Bindweed or Calystegia silvatica ssp. Fraterniflora.”
