Collection Notes: a prairie-type area on the south side of the Mountain View College campus. Trees ring this clearing and LOMA is prolific in the understory here, with both the opposite leaf structure and the unique clusters of 4 berries in a square making ID easy. Volunteers eradicated some plants, though some work teams were unfamiliar with this plant and therefore chose not to eradicate.
