Abstract:

There are two major threats to native plants in North Carolina. One is the habitat disruption that comes from construction and development. The second is nonnative plants, like kudzu and English ivy, which can dominate the habitats of the native species. Martin discusses the North Carolina Native Plant Society's work in protecting native plant species.

Abstract:

Deer tongue, also known as Carolina vanilla, is an obscure wild plant with slender, leathery leaves that somewhat resemble a deer's tongue. The leaves, when dried and crushed, produce the heavy, sweetish odor of pure vanilla extract. Deer tongue is extensively used in tobacco products of various kinds, and each year tobacco buyers purchase hundreds of thousands pounds of it.
