English Ivy: (Hedera helix) A species of ivy that is native to western Asia and most of Europe. In it's native range it is valued for attracting wildlife. Ivy is found in many areas of the United States, New Zealand and Australia, and is labeled as an invasive species in most of the areas in which it has been introduced. It is illegal to sell or import ivy in the state of Oregon.
I found this ivy growing along the side of the parking garage on main campus. I see ivy all over the place around here and it's also very common around my house in Portland, Oregon.
