Bittersweet / Douce-amère Solanum dulcamara (Andrey had the right scientific name but the wrong English name).
That is what USDA suggested: http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=SODU By the way, does anyone experience a problem with accessing USDA PLANTS database via Firefox browser (last version 9.0.1)? It uniformly sends me to "The Plants Site Is Temporarily Unavailable" page. IExplorer still works OK. I asked the guys at USDA, but they have no idea why it does not work for me.
Yes, I also checked with few other folks having this version and all are ok. Only I am having the problem which is quite odd...
USDA is not a reliable source for the English names of European species. The definitive source is the BSBI; for individual species, see the species accounts at Interactive Flora of NW Europe (use the search box for other species): http://wbd.etibioinformatics.nl/bis/flora.php?selected=beschrijving&menuentry=soorten&id=3370
No Java on this machine. Anyway, I figured this out: somehow, the USDA servers maintain cookies on my browser that persist as long as USDA tab is open in it. When I closed ALL USDA tabs, cleaned the browser cache, removed ALL USDA cookies, restarted the browser, and voila! I got normal access to the PLANTS database. The sequence of actions was important. If one of the steps is missing or displaced, this does not work.
