Default Weed of the week: Dog-strangling vine (Cynanchum vincetoxicum)

This Southern European creeper was named "dog-strangling vine" in
ancient Greek. The Romans gave it the same name in Latin. This shows
the power of popular imagination: there is no record of a dog actually
getting strangled.
Modern botanists change its Latin name about every three years, which
actually hampers the fight against its invasion of North America.
