I'm curious ... is there a reason that English ivy is not represented? Or is it just that nobody has added an observation yet? FYI, just found this project via a post in Pennsylvania Master Naturalist (Facebook).
After checking the observations we have for English ivy (Hedera helix) in the PA iMapInvasives project on iNaturalist, it appears that we have 10 observations. I did notice that the common name listed is not "English ivy", but actually "Common ivy". However, common names are incredibly interchangeable and it's the scientific name that always indicates what species is being referenced.
If you have any other questions regarding the Pennsylvania iMapInvasives program (www.paimapinvasives.org) or the PA iMap project here on iNaturalist, please let me know.
