Field Notes
Field Notes Sketch

Went outside tuesday October 27, 2009 on a cloudy afternoon for 55 minutes and were trying to find Asian Bittersweet. We didn't find it and this is our evidence to prove it.
Some of the evidence was the Asian Bittersweet's leaves are whorled not alternate. Another piece of evidence is that the leaves aren't simple they're compound palmate. The last piece of evidence is that the Asian Bittersweet doesn't have berries and the plant we found had only one.

Great photos. Love the yellow background. Artsy and fun and really shows off the plant nicely. The plant should wear yellow more often!
