Jim, I am familiar with this native plant. It is quite different from the ornamental vines labelled /Vigna caracalla/ (syn. /Phaseolus caracalla/).
The two vines in question may simply part of the normal variation within the species. But they are so different that they should at least have different common names like broccoli and cauliflower which are the same species but clearly different. --Henry --- On Thu, 9/15/11, Jim McKenney <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Jim McKenney <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Alpine-l] corkscrew/snail vine confusion > To: [email protected] > Date: Thursday, September 15, 2011, 9:22 AM > > Henry, use Google images to view a picture of Apios > tuberosa: does that look like one of your plants? > > Jim McKenney > _______________________________________________ > Alpine-l mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/alpine-l > _______________________________________________ Alpine-l mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/alpine-l
