		Black swallow-wort, in Latin Cynanchum louiseae (also known as Cynanchum nigrum, Vincetoxicum nigrum), is a bad, bad invasive plant, and we can say all the nasty things about it that apply to the other invasive perennial vines.
		SWALLOW-WORTS: If you happen to be a connoisseur of swallow-worts, there are two kinds in the Cynanchum family that are an invasive threat to North America: the fl swallow-wort and its kin, the pale swallow-wort, Cynanchum rossicum.
		As a general matter, if you find one Cynanchum swallow-wort, you’ll find the other not far away and they’re equally bad in all ways.

		Known Sites: Utah Cynanchum is a very inconspicuous milkweed growing at the western entrance to Sentenac Canyon and winding through shrubbery near the ranger station in Blair Valley.
		Status: Utah Cynanchum populations are likely stable on the southern deserts based on limited historical impacts to its habitat.
		Although apparently more common elsewhere to the east, populations on the western periphery of the Colorado Desert are uncommon and should be protected.
