Journal Entry Lab 2
During my observations I was particularly interested in the ground ivy that I found and so I located it on the phylogenetic tree. Its scientific name is Glechoma hederacea which is part of the genus Glechoma, the family Lamiaceae and order Lamiales. As a non-native, invasive species in north america, ground ivy thrives well in areas that are shady that might not be as optimal for other plants, allowing it to spread fast. It is also stoloniferous meaning it can spread even from bits of root or stem, making it very easily spread. All of the species I observed had some sort of green leaves which are adapted to generate energy through photosynthesis because of the chlorophyll in their cells.
