Characteristics
Asclepias quadrifolia Jacq.
four-leaved milkweed
Forests to thin forests and woodlands of a southern affinity. Mostly an understory herb that does not do well with intense herbaceous competition. The herb layer may be rather full and diverse but not with dense tall plants. Does particularly well over calcareous rocks.
