  4. swamp beggar-ticks Bidens cernua http://www.missouriplants.com/Yellowopp/Bidens_cernua_page.html

  5. jewelweed (spotted touch-me-not) Impatiens capensis • Can help relieve • itching (maybe • from stinging • nettle) • Bright orange • spotted flowers

  6. water-shield Brasenia schreberi • Oval-shaped pads • Stem arises from • middle of plant • No slits in leaf • Stem and leaf • underside covered • in thick slime

  7. sedge Carex spp. • Can look like Iris • and/or Typha • BUT!!!! • Triangular shape to • leaf

  8. reed canary grass Phalaris arundinacea • Swollen nodes • Often times top • seed stalk is at an • angle from the rest • of the plant http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.plant-identification.co.uk/images/gramineae/phalaris-arundinacea-1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://

  9. Eurasian watermilfoil Myriophyllum spicatum • Feathery look • Usually a red stem • Can form flower stalk like many • other Potamogetons • Best way to tell this plant from • Northern milfoil… when Eurasian • is pulled out of the water it goes • limp. When Northern milfoil is • pulled out it holds it’s form.

  10. northern blue flag iris Iris versicolor • Leaves are folded at the midribs • so they overlap each other • Smooth, sword-like leaves

  11. lesser duckweed Lemna minor • One of the smallest • duckweeds • Has long hanging roots • but smaller and • shorter roots than • other duckweeds • Used in many studies, • including Dave Tillman’s • ecology course

  12. purple loosestrife Lythrum salicaria • Very invasive • Looks a bit like fireweed, don’t get • them confused

  13. white water lily Nymphaea odorata • Round floating-leaf with a slit • Round stem • White, showy and fragrant flowers

  14. smartweed Polygonum spp.

  15. pickerelweed Pontederia cordata • Emergent vegetation • Bright purple flower • stalks

  16. pondweed Potamogeton spp.

  17. cattail Typha spp.

  18. willow Salix spp. http://www.cnr.vt.edu/dendro/dendrology/syllabus/factsheet.cfm?ID=86
