Collection Notes: I haven\'t photographed specimens, but Japanese honeysuckle is probably the dominant vine—even more so than poison ivy—in this area. This specimen is easy to pinpoint. It\'s growing down the side of an eroded area—too small to call a ravine, but that\'s basically what it is. This area is under the power lines and is the most obvious, and perhaps the easiest, way up from the bottoms to the uplands. The honeysuckle is on the right side of this ravine as you climb up it from the creek. Coincidentally, this is also the downstream tip of the polygon that the preceding observations of ligustrum fit into. Ligustrum continues downstream, but it becomes less dominant on this bank—still common, but not necessarily dominant.
