Trying to check out milkweeds for an article. I can't believe there is no A tuberosa entry in Plantfiles--or could I have missed it? Double checked USDA plant profiles to confirm it's not the same as A curassavica.

So did I miss something, or is PF just lacking in A tuberosa?
No Asclepia tuberosa in Plantfiles??
What the HEY???Where was that????
THANKS
I think I searched under common name Milkweed and it showed a ton of Asclepiasses, but not tuberosa. Milkweed isn't given as a common name at all for this one! Lesson learned

Maybe you should add 'milkweed' as a common name for it to Plant Files.
Certainly enough flolks around here call tuberose 'milkweed' so it would qualify!
I don't know how to do it, or I would myself.
Good thought! --It might be a question for Admin. I'll see into it.

Now this is funny! Now it says 'Butterfly Milkweed, Butterfly Weed, Pleurisy Root. ' Maybe somebody else just looked into it.
