UOG Horticulturalist, Dr. Jim McConnell reports that he has found a new weed on Guam, tentatively identified as Tinospora rumphii (Family Menispermaceae).  This is a vine which forms impenetrable thickets and it is also a host for the fruit piercing moth, Eudocima fullonia.  Dr. McConnell who suggests that eradication should be considered before the weed spreads.  As far as he knows there is currently only one small infestation on island.
