Sevenleaf creeper, Parthenocissus heptaphylla, is endemic to the Edwards Plateau and Lampasas Cut Plain. Although its conservation status is apparently secure (NatureServe Rank G4S4), the species is subject to loss of habitat as ranches in Central Texas are subdivided for development. If this vine were commercially available, it could be used as a drought-resistant ground cover and climbing vine in the new developments. The purpose of this project is to locate a minimum of 25 plants on sites where we can secure permission to collect seeds in 2018 for a seed increase project. less ↑
