Flowers - Petals 4-5, 1.1cm long, 4.5mm broad at apex, pale yellowish to tan, broadest at apex, short pubescent externally and internally. Stamens 8-10 (twice as many as petals), typically included. Filaments inserted in grooves on ovary, white, glabrous, 7mm long. Anthers reddish, .4mm broad. Style 1, yellow, 2.1mm long, 1mm in diameter. Stigma capitate (flattened), 2.5mm broad. Ovary 4mm tall (long) and broad, 4-locular. Placentation axile. Sepals 4-5, erect, distinct, 8-9mm long, 2-3mm broad at apex, pale yellow to tannish, short pubescent on margins, erose at apex. Capsules erect, to 8mm long, with persistent style. Seeds many.
Flowering - June - October. Habitat - Rich to dry woods, along streams, ravines, alluvial soils. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This diminutive plant is not commonly seen. It is found in a small number of counties throughout Missouri. The plant is saprophytic on decaying vegetation and the mycelia of fungi. The stems of the plant can be yellowish-brown to reddish (when the plant is in fruit). Another species, M. uniflora L., is nearly white and has only one flower terminating each stem.

Family - Amaranthaceae Stems - To 60cm tall, from taproot, branching at base, ascending or slightly procumbent, herbaceous, erect, arachnoid pubescent.
Leaves - Opposite, sessile, mostly at base of plant, linear-oblong, entire, arachnoid pubescent below, sericeous above (the hairs swollen basally), acute, to +7cm long, -1cm broad. Inflorescence - Terminal and lateral spikes. Lateral spikes sessile. Bracts subtending flowers densely lanate, pinkish-tinged at apex.
Flowers - Apetalous. Calyx tubular, 5-lobed, pinkish-tinged, densely lanate, 2.2mm long(in flower). Stamens 5, included. Filaments connate and forming a tube. Anthers yellow, .2-.3mm long. Ovary and style compressed. Ovary ovoid-rotund. Style scarious-green, .4mm long. Stigma capitate, globose. Fruiting calyx to +3mm long, with 2 rows of spines. Urticle with a single spine.
Flowering - May - September. Habitat - Glades, sandy open ground, streambanks, gravel bars, railroads. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - Most plants from the Amaranthaceae have flowers which are very difficult to decipher without a good scope or lens. The flower parts are very small and typically indistinct. F. gracilis is no exception, but it is, however, easy to ID in the field because of its basally branching habit and wooly-arachnoid stems and flowers. Another species, F. floridana (Nutt.) Moq. is found in Missouri and the two species hybridize. F. floridana has thicker stems, broader leaves, and doesn't typically branch at the base. Both species can be found in many scattered counties throughout Missouri. F. gracilis is found in quantity on the gravel bars in the Ozarks. The spiny fruits can be the cause of much discomfort for sandal-wearers in the area.

Family - Euphorbiaceae Stems - From a single taproot, multiple from the base, branching, prostrate, herbaceous, terete, pilose at the base, moderately pilose to hirsute above, green to (more commonly) red, with milky sap, to +30cm long, forming mats.
Leaves - Opposite, short-petiolate. Petioles to 1mm long, pubescent as the stem. Blades oblique at the base, typically oblong to oblong-ovate, dull dark green above, whitish-green below, sometimes with a dark red splotch in the center, with few to many hairs above, much more hairy below, appearing entire but actually with shallow teeth along the entire margin, rounded at the apex, to +/-1.4cm long, +/-5mm broad. Main veins of the leaf all arising at the base of the blade, typically 3.
Inflorescence - Typically a single cyathium per leaf axil, appearing dense because of the short internodes of the upper stems. Flowers - Involucre of the cyathium green, -2mm long, glabrous or sparse strigose, with 4 glands at the apex. Glands olive green, with small white to pinkish appendages. Appendages to .5mm broad, .3-.4mm long. Cyathia with a few hairs at the apex internally. Stamens 1-2 per cyathium. Filaments white, glabrous, .5-.7mm long. Anthers yellowish with some red, bilobed, .3mm broad. Capsule usually at 90 degrees to the cyathium, strigose, green, to -2mm long, 3-locular. Styles 3, .4-.5mm long, translucent, divided in apical 1/3 - 1/4, glabrous. Seeds 1-1.1mm long, brownish-purple when mature, with weak crossed ridges between the angles. Ridges coarse and few.
Flowering - May - October. Habitat - Waste ground, disturbed sites, cultivated ground, along sidewalks and streets, roadsides, railroads, glades. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This little species can be found throughout Missouri and is quite common. It is one of the most common weeds in the state and in the eastern U.S. The plant is easy to ID because of its prostrate habit, opposite leaves and hairy stems. It can form large, circular mats nearly 1m or more in diameter. The milky sap of this species and many plants in the family can be irritating or even toxic to some people so be careful when handling the plant.

Leaves - Mostly opposite, petiolate. Petioles to +1.5cm long, pubescent as the stem, with a shallow adaxial groove. A small cluster of minute glands is often present at the base of each petiole. The glands often brownish. Blades irregularly dentate to subentire, ovate to narrowly lanceolate, to +3cm broad, 8cm long, pubescent above and below, dull green above, bluish green below.
Inflorescence - Terminal bracteate cluster of cymules. Pedicels to 1.5mm long, glabrous. Flowers - Involucre (at anthesis) whitish-green, 3mm long, glabrous, 5-lobed, with a single cupulate nectary, (nectary green, to 1.2mm long). Lobes fimbriate and often with a pinkish tinge. Ovary green, glabrous, 1.2mm in diameter (at anthesis). Styles 3, white, glabrous, spreading, to 1mm long, divided nearly to the base and appearing as 6. Anthers bi-lobed, yellow, .5mm broad. Filaments white, glabrous, distinctly jointed in the apical 1/4. Stamens +/-30 per flower. Capsules 3-lobed, glabrous, 3-seeded.
Flowering - July - October. Habitat - Prairies, glades, waste ground, disturbed sites, roadsides, railroads. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This species is found throughout Missouri. The plant is fairly inconspicuous because of its indistinct flowers. It is closely related to the every popular Poinsettia that many people like to buy around the winter holidays. Be careful with the sap of this plant and most from this genus and it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.

Family - Asclepiadaceae Stems - Stout, erect, herbaceous, to 1.5m tall, 4-angled (the angles rounded), tomentoulose, with milky sap. Leaves - Opposite, decussate, short petiolate. Petioles to -1cm long. Blades to +/-20cm long, +/-10cm broad, entire, tomentose (tomentoulose) and light green below, darker green and sparse tomentoulose above, often with purplish midrib adaxially, ovate-oblong to ovate-lanceolate or elliptic, rounded at base, acute at apex. Veins of the leaf anistomosing before the margins of the leaf (best viewed abaxially).
Inflorescence - Axillary, pedunculate, globose umbels on the apical 1/2 of the stem. Peduncles to +/-6cm long, tomentose. Flowers +/-100 per umbel. Pedicels tomentose, to 4cm long, typically with some purplish tinge.
Flowers - Petals 5, reflexed, subulate, to 9mm long, 3-4mm broad, acute, entire, glabrous internally, pubescent externally. Hoods creamy whitish-purple, 4-5mm tall, attached basally to column, glabrous. Horns to 2mm long, whitish-purple, curved inward and touching the top of the anther column. Column dark purple and whitish at the apex, 2-3mm long and broad. Anther sacs 2mm long, connective dark purplish-brown. Sepals 5, green, pubescent externally, glabrous internally, reflexed, shorter than the petals.
Flowering - May - August. Habitat - Fields, open woods, roadsides, railroads, waste ground. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This robust species can be found throughout most of Missouri but seems to be uncommon in the south-central portion of the state. Like the majority of the milkweeds, this species bleeds a profuse amount of milky sap when injured. The plant is toxic if ingested. This species can be mistaken with another, A. purpurescens L., but the latter has more purple flowers, inflorescences which are at the apex of the plant, and smooth fruits. The fruits of A. syriaca have small protuberances on them. Both species are quite striking and are visited frequently by insects in search of nectar. Plants of the genus Asclepias have their pollen gathered in small sacs known as pollinia. The pollinia are buried within the other flora organs and cannot be seen without dissecting the flowers. As insects crawl amongst and feed upon the flowers of Asclepias their feet and appendages slip into slits in the gynostegium of the flower and get snagged on these pollinia. The pollinia will then be carried by the insects to other flowers on different plants to assure varied pollination. This amazing process can be seen in the picture below as a small larva feeding upon the flowers of A. syriaca can be seen with a pair of pollinia attached to one of its feet.
