Purple loosestrife(Lythrum salicara)

Purple loosestrife is a semi-aquatic, hardy perennial that can grow over 8 feet tall. Stems are usually 4 sided and much branched, bearing opposite or whorled, 4-inch long, lance-shaped leaves. Crowded flower spikes develop at the stem tips in midsummer. Flowers are 1 inch in diameter with 5 to 7 reddish-purple, wrinkled petals that appear as if they have been crushed. A single plant may produce over 2.5 million tiny seeds per year.

In addition, any nonresident who does not satisfy the requirements of an Idaho citation will have his/her hunting and fishing license revoked in their home state until those requirements are satisfied.
