[MAIPC] New invasive/waifs

[Greenberg, Patricia]

Hi,
 Thanks for sharing this Meghan. First I've seen of black poplar. I'll keep an eye out for it and post it on MAEDN if I find it.  

Italium arum is quickly spreading in areas of Reston. It seems quite aggressive. 

Warm wishes,
 Patricia

Hello- we’ve been tracking a few species in the last few years but are wondering if they are on anyone else’s radar.

1) Italian arum (Arum italicum). More easily seen in late winter/early spring, it would be great if folks could add their sightings to eddmaps. So far we’ve really only seen it within sight of houses, but it seems to be spreading

2) black poplar (Populus nigra). We First noticed it a couple of years ago within a disturbed natural area, and have since seen it in two more locations. It would be great if folks could put occurrence data of this one in eddmaps too.

Thanks!
