Big-Leaved Periwinkle

Vinca major is a flowering plant in the Apocynaceae family, known for its use as a groundcover in horticulture. It is native to regions including British Columbia, Madeira Island, and parts of Europe and South America. The species was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown but was later replaced by Hitchcock's choice of Vinca minor under the Vienna Code. The plant is characterized by its evergreen habit and ability to spread indefinitely. It is widely distributed across various regions, including Belgium, France, and the Netherlands.
