Asclepias connivens is a species of milkweed, commonly called Baldwin's milkweed or the largeflower milkweed. It is an obligate wetland species, native to the southeastern United States (Alabama, Georgia, Florida).[1]
It was first identified in 1817[2] by American botanist, William Baldwin. The name connivens refers to the conniving (converging) hoods over the stigma.[3] The plant produces 3⁄4 in (19 mm) greenish-yellow flowers, blooming between July and August and 5–7 in (130–180 mm) seed bearing follicles from mature fruit.[4] The stalks of the plant grow up to 37 in (94 cm) in height.[5] The leaves are 3.9–4.7 in (9.9–11.9 cm) long and 1.2–2.0 in (3.0–5.1 cm) wide and are opposite and sessile. The plant dies back to the ground in winter.[6]
