The plant family Petiveriaceae contains around 20 known species of plants. No members of this family are native to Bermuda, but two species have been introduced – the Hoop Vine (Trichostigma octandrum) and the Rougeberry (Rivina humilis). Unfortunately both species are invasive here. While Rougeberry is incredibly common, I was only vaguely aware of Hoop Vine before I started the vegetation surveys for my PhD in 2023. Lisa Greene had shown it to me on the roadside of South Shore Road, just east of Southampton Rangers in May 2014. I’d since noticed it a few other times, such as on the railway trail in Warwick during the End-to-End Walk in 2018.
