Family - Bignoniaceae
Stems - Woody, climbing or clambering, multiple from base, forming aerial rootlets. New seasons growth glabrous, green.
Leaves - Opposite, petiolate, odd-pinnate, with +/-11 leaflets. Petiole and rachis glabrous or with a few cilia near the base of the leaflets, with a narrow adaxial groove, green. Leaflets opposite, ovate, acuminate, coarsely and irregularly serrate, glabrous above, sparsely pubescent on veins below, acute to acuminate, to +6cm long, +4cm broad. Leaf tissue abruptly contracted and deccurent on petiolule.
Inflorescence - Terminal corymbs of +/-10 flowers. Pedicels to 1.7cm long, subtended by small linear bracts. Pedicel also often with two small scalelike bracts near middle.
Flowers - Corolla red-orange, orange, or yellow, to +/-7cm long, 2cm in diameter, funnelform, 5-lobed at apex, zygomorphic, glabrous. Lobes suborbicular, to 2.5cm broad, 1.5cm long. Stamens 5 (4 + 1), didynamous, included, adnate at contracted portion of corolla tube. Filaments to +3cm long, glabrous, pale yellow. Anthers tan, 5-6mm long. Small stamen with filament to 1.8cm long. Style 1, 4.8cm long, glabrous, yellow-green. Stigma flattened, spatulate, to 3mm broad. Ovary superior, 8mm long, subterete to weakly 6-angled. Placentation axile. Ovules many, glabrous. Calyx tube to +2cm long, reddish, 5-lobed. Lobes 8mm long, acute, 5-6mm broad at base, glabrous internally and externally.

Flowering - May - August.
Habitat - Open woods, thickets, fence rows, waste ground, disturbed sites, roadsides, railroads. Also cultivated.
Origin - Native to U.S.
Other info. - This striking species is common throughout Missouri but is actually native to only the Ozark section of the state. This is an easily identified vine because of its opposite, pinnate leaves and big, orange flowers. It can frequently be seen growing along fence rows and in waste places.
C. radicans can be aggressive if unchecked and some people are mildly allergic to the plant.

Inflorescence - Single flowers or few flowered corymbs from leaf axils.
Flowers - Petals 5, pink (rarely white), to +3cm long. Stamens many. Styles 5, united and protruding from hypanthium. Hypanthium +/-1cm in diameter. Sepals 5, to +1.5cm long, pubescent to glandular pubescent. Flowers fragrant.
Flowering - May - July.
Habitat - Moist ground, thickets, open woods, fence rows, roadsides.
Origin - Native to U.S.
Other info. - This is one of the more common roses found in the state. It seems to prefer a shaded location with neighboring plants for support, but will grow fine in the sun and alone.
The plant is quite variable and Steyermark lists two varieties and five forms of the species, mostly based on leaf pubescence and flower color. I wont go into those here.

Habitat - Lowland and upland woods and thickets of the Crowley Ridge. Also cultivated.
Origin - Native to U.S.
Other info. - This showy species is rare in Missouri and can be found wild in just one county from the bootheel of the state. It is much more common in cultivation and wild in states to the south and east. The plant can be identified by its ovate-lanceolate leaves, glabrous pedicels and hypanthia, whitish-pink flowers, and small fruits.
The fruits of M. angustifolia are eaten by wildlife. Humans use the fruit to make jelly, preserves, and cider. The wood of the plant is hard and tough and is good for making tool handles and small items.

Family - Ericaceae
Stems - To +60cm tall, typically some shade of green and without a great deal of bark except at very base, branching, erect to ascending(in young stems), twigs and new growth pubescent to tomentose, stoloniferous, shrubby.
Leaves - Alternate, short-petiolate. Petioles to 2-3mm long, pubescent. Blades elliptic to obovate, short-acute to short-acuminate, glabrous to pubescent and green above, tomentose and glaucous below, to +3cm long, +2cm broad. Margins appearing entire but actually crenulate-serrulate(especially in younger leaves), often reddish at very edge of margin.
Inflorescence - Flowers appearing with the new seasons leaves from terminal and axillary buds. Racemes to 1.5cm long in flower, longer in fruit. Bracts subtending pedicels obovate, to +/-3mm long, with small mucro tip, cupped. Small pair of bractlets on base of pedicel to -3mm long, glabrous, with a few cilia on margins or not, lanceolate, acuminate.
Flowers - Corolla urceolate to cylindric, 5-6mm long, 4mm in diameter, glabrous, white or with some pink, 5-lobed. Lobes recurved, acute, 1.1mm long. Stamens 10, included. Filaments compressed, antrorse pubescent, 2mm long, greenish-white. Anthers copper-colored, 2-lobed, 2mm long. Style green, included, 5mm long, glabrous. Ovary inferior, 2-locular. Calyx tube 1.7mm long, 5-lobed, glabrous, green. Lobes shallow, rounded, light green, 1mm long. Berries globose, glaucous, blue-purple, 5-6mm in diameter, tasty.
Flowering - April - May.
Habitat - Dry rocky open woods, ledges, bluffs, glades, ridges, typically in acid soil.
Origin - Native to U.S.
Other info. - This small, shrubby species is common in the lower 1/2 of Missouri. The plant produces a tasty blueberry in the summer which is enjoyed by wildlife as well as people. The plant is distinguishable from the two other Missouri blueberries by the fact that it is the smaller of the 3 species, it has leaves which are glaucous below, and the stems are typically mostly herbaceous and some shade of green. The other two species of Vaccinium in Missouri become woody very early on in their growth.
A synonym for this species is V. pallidum Ait.
When small and immature, the 3 species of Vaccinium in Missouri can be difficult to differentiate in the field. The best way to tell the species apart is by looking at the leaf venation. The venation of V. arboreum is spaced widely apart. The venation of V. vacillans is spaced fairly close together. The veins of V. stamineum are very close together and sometimes hard to see. In the photo below, the venation of all three species is shown. From left to right the species are V. arboreum, V. stamineum and V. vacillans.
Stems - To +60cm tall, typically some shade of green and without a great deal of bark except at very base, branching, erect to ascending(in young stems), twigs and new growth pubescent to tomentose, stoloniferous, shrubby.

Margins appearing entire but actually crenulate-serrulate(especially in younger leaves), often reddish at very edge of margin.
Inflorescence - Flowers appearing with the new seasons leaves from terminal and axillary buds. Racemes to 1.5cm long in flower, longer in fruit. Bracts subtending pedicels obovate, to +/-3mm long, with small mucro tip, cupped. Small pair of bractlets on base of pedicel to -3mm long, glabrous, with a few cilia on margins or not, lanceolate, acuminate.
Flowers - Corolla urceolate to cylindric, 5-6mm long, 4mm in diameter, glabrous, white or with some pink, 5-lobed. Lobes recurved, acute, 1.1mm long. Stamens 10, included. Filaments compressed, antrorse pubescent, 2mm long, greenish-white. Anthers copper-colored, 2-lobed, 2mm long. Style green, included, 5mm long, glabrous. Ovary inferior, 2-locular. Calyx tube 1.7mm long, 5-lobed, glabrous, green. Lobes shallow, rounded, light green, 1mm long. Berries globose, glaucous, blue-purple, 5-6mm in diameter, tasty.

Abby Gill：My guess is sedum pachyphyllum, but don't take my word for it.
