Field Notes

Description:

Calystegia silvatica is the largest species of bindweed and is a strong rampant climber. It is native to southern Europe but has been introduced to many other areas around the world, because it is considered an attractive garden plant. It was spotted growing in the wild, in Zagora village, Pelion mountain, Greece.
