Thanks for using the hotline and reporting Daphne laureola. How certain are you of the identification? It would be helpful if you could supply a photograph by uploading a picure to the report hotline.
In the meantime I will forward your report to the local Cooperative Weed Management Area contact person so they can be aware of this report. Also, perhaps there is a person there who can look at your specimen to help confirm the identification.
I will let you know the status of your report as we follow up.
Thanks again, and keep reporting!

I would like to follow up on your report since spurge laurel is a priority species in the Sandy River Basin. Can you provide more details about how to find the population you reported? Please feel free to give me a call at 541-914-0701 or email tsiemens(at)tnc.org.
Thank you,
