Photo Guide : Apocynum cannabinum (Indian Hemp Dogbane) | |
|
|
This plant is frequently mistaken for milkweed because of its milky sap and general similarity to Asclepias syriaca, especially in early spring. Although Monarch larvae will take a few nibbles of Apocynum leaves, they are unable to continue feeding on the plant and invariably die.
