It's good to see that we still have people visiting the blog after going so many days without a new post.<br /><br />I have been very busy lately, and hadn't really had time to spend with this quiz. When I saw the photo, I knew I didn't know what it was immediately. I was planning to spend some time tonight trying to figure it out, but JohnnyHank beat me to it. Nice work, JohnnyHank!<br /><br />The reason I didn't get to Strophostyles in the keys I used in the brief time I spent trying to figure this out was that I didn't see stipels at the base of the leaflets in the photo. Are they there and very small? Can you see them in the enlarged photo?Scott Namestnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039569660182814907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-50980627943913866762009-11-20T16:07:08.918-08:002009-11-20T16:07:08.918-08:00We have a winner!

It isn'...Sorry, it is not a dogbane or Apios. <br /><br />It isn't a terribly common species but it does occur throughout the eastern and Midwestern portions of the US and into Canada. It is a bit more common in the southeastern US. It is faithfully trifoliate. <br /><br />If no one guesses correctly by late tonight I'll post the answer.Justin R.
