Family - Orchidaceae Stems - To +/-50cm tall, erect, herbaceous, simple, single or double from the base, glabrous, with vertical ridges formed by decurrent leaf and bract tissue, green. Leaves - 2-5 per stem, sessile, sheathing, glabrous, entire, narrowly elliptic-lanceolate, acute at apex, the largest with blades to +/-12cm long, +/-2cm broad, dull green above, slightly more shiny below. The midrib deeply impressed adaxially, expressed abaxially.
Inflorescence - Terminal spike to +/-10cm long (tall). Axis glabrous. Each flower subtended by a lanceolate bract. Bracts shorter or longer than the flowers (depending on the variety), green, glabrous, entire.
Flowers - Sessile, green. Floral tube -1cm long, typically twisted, glabrous. Sepals 3, ovate to orbicular, glabrous, entire, to 4mm long, 3mm broad. The lateral two spreading. Petals yellow-green. The spur to 6mm long, slightly curved, glabrous. Lower lip blunt at the apex to very slightly emarginate, to +/-4mm long, 3mm broad, glabrous, with two small basal projections and a tubercle at the base adaxially. Lateral petals rounded to ovate or obovate, spreading, 3-4mm long and broad, glabrous. Column -2mm long and broad, facing forward. Pollinia 1.3mm long. Pollen white.
Flowering - May - September. Habitat - Mesic bottoms, mesic prairies. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This species can be found scattered throughout Missouri but is relatively uncommon. The plant is fairly easy to identify because of its green flowers, which are spurred and have an undivided lower lip. P. flava is commonly divided into two varieties. Both these varieties occur in Missouri but may be hard to differentiate. The varieties are differentiated on the basis of bract length on the inflorescence and also number of leaves per plant. The longer-bracted plants, var. herbiola (R. Br.) Luer are more common in Missouri than the shorter-bracted plants, var. flava.

Family - Euphorbiaceae Stems - Branching at the base, from a stout but short taproot, herbaceous, erect, simple, often reddish, glabrescent below, fistulose, with small patches of multicellular hairs near the apex in the internodes, with white milky sap.
Leaves - Alternate (except in the inflorescence), sessile, oblong to oblanceolate, rounded to blunt at the apex, appearing glabrous but actually with a fine arachnoid pubescence (use a lens to see), irregular serrulate, to 5cm long, -2cm broad. Leaves in inflorescence opposite to sub-opposite, broadly ovate.
Inflorescence - Loose cymose arrangement of cyathia. Each division of cyme subtended by a pair of opposite bracts. Peduncles glabrous. Pedicels to 3mm long, broadening at the apex, glabrous. Flowers - Glands of cyathia 4, red, truncate at the apex, 1-1.2mm broad, imperfectly surrounding the cyathia. Stamens +/-15, erect, exserted at the time of flowering. Filaments translucent to pale yellow, compressed, 1.5-2mm long. Anthers biglobose, yellow, .5mm broad. Ovary (in flower) -1.5mm in diameter, globose, green, tuberculate-papillate, quickly enlarging in fruit, with 3 ovules. Placentation axile. Styles 3, reflexed and resting on the surface of the ovary, green, glabrous, branched in the apical 2/3 (the branches spreading). Stigmas red, .2mm long.
Flowering - May - July. Habitat - Low woods, thickets, fallow fields, sandy ground, gravel bars. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This non-distinct species can be found mainly in the southeastern half of Missouri. Like most plants in the family, this plant bleeds copious amounts of milky sap when injured. Many plants in the genus Euphorbia can be difficult to ID in the field. E. obtusata can be identified by its alternate leaves (which have minute teeth along their margins), its erect growth habit, and the reddish glands around the apex of its cyathia.

Family - Brassicaceae Stems - Repent, decumbent, or ascending, multiple from the base, radiating from a central point, from a long taproot, to 30cm long, herbaceous, terete, glabrous, green. Leaves - Alternate, petiolate, pinnate, to 4-5cm long, 2cm broad, glabrous. Divisions of the leaves opposite, lobed or divided again, acute, linear-elliptic to linear oblong. Apices of ultimate divisions with a somewhat hardened point.
Inflorescence - Small raceme to 4cm long, opposite one of the stem leaves, compact in flower, quickly elongating in fruit. Axis glabrous. Pedicels to 2mm long in fruit.
Flowers - Greenish, minute. Petals absent. Sepals 4, to 1mm long, .75mm broad, strongly cupped, glabrous, with scarious margins, acute to rounded at the apex. Stamens 2, to .75mm long. Filaments white, swollen at the base, glabrous, succulent. Anthers purple, .1mm long. Staminodia 4, shorter than the stamens, one staminode arising on each side of the fertile stamens, with minute green nectaries at the base between the fertile stamen and the staminode. Ovary superior, green, glabrous, 1mm broad, .8mm long, compressed. Style absent. Stigma sessile between the two halves of the ovary. Fruits glabrous, 3-4mm broad, 2mm long, slightly compressed, sub-biglobose, 2-seeded.
Flowering - April - October. Habitat - Waste ground, open places, lawns. Origin - Native to Europe. Other info. - This sprawling weed can be found in just a handful of southeast Missouri counties but is spreading. The plant is easy to ID in the field because of its spreading stems, pinnate leaves, and biglobose fruits. The species epithet "didymus" means "the testes" referring to the fruits.

Family - Scrophulariaceae Stems - Multiple from base, simple, herbaceous, villous to velutinous or lanate, to +35cm long, erect to ascending, from a stout woody crown with thick roots. Leaves - Alternate, sessile. Lower leaves linear, entire, pubescent above and below, to -8cm long. Upper leaves(bracts of flowers) 3-4 lobed(typically with two lateral lobes and a central lobe which is often divided), to +/-6cm long, pubescent above, dense pubescent below. Lobes entire, linear.
Inflorescence - Single sessile axillary flowers from upper 2/3 of stem. Flowers subtended by a lobed foliaceous bract.
Flowers -Corolla to +5.5cm long, well exserted beyond calyx, pale yellowish-white to light green at apex, bilabiate. Tube to 4cm long, villous near base, glandular pubescent at apex. Lower lip 3-lobed. Lobes attenuate, 4-5mm long. Upper lip 1cm long, galeate, with scarious margins, folded, attenuate. Stamens 4, didynamous. Filaments to 1.2cm long, glabrous, filiform. Anthers yellow-orange, 3-4mm long. Style filiform, glabrous, exserted just beyond upper lip of corolla. Stigma small, dark purple. Ovary superior, glabrous, green, 4-5mm long, slightly compressed. Locules 2. Placentation axile. Fruit dehiscent by two valves. Calyx tubular, laterally bilabiate, accrescent. Tube to 2.5cm long, light green to pale yellow, glandular pubescent externally, glabrous to sparse pubescent internally. Each lateral lip 2-lobed. Lobes attenuate, to -2cm long, dense glandular pubescent.
Flowering - April - July. Habitat - Dry exposed areas of loess hills. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - If you want to view this plant in this state you will have to travel up to Holt and Atchison Counties in the northwest corner of the state. The plant can be found on the upper ridges of the loess hills in the area. Good luck if you go out there. This plant may not have an abundance of magnificent color to look at but it is an interesting little plant regardless. The flowers are inconspicuous but the scraggly bracts and ascending stems give the plant a "spidery" appearance.

Family - Berberidaceae Stems - From rhizomes, to +/-50cm tall, erect, herbaceous, multiple from the base, glaucous, terete, green with purple at the base, glabrous. Leaves - Mostly one leaf per stem, triternate. Leaflets 3(4-5)-lobed a the apex, entire, glabrous, 4-5cm long, +/-3cm broad. Lobes of the leaflets acute, with a small whitish apex. Main veins of the leaflets arising from the base of the leaflet. All veins impressed above, expressed below. Lateral leaflets often oblique at the base.
Inflorescence - Axillary panicle to +4cm long. Peduncle to +3cm long, glabrous. Ech division of the panicle subtended a minute bract. Bracts 1-2mm long, acute, scarious on the margins.
Flowers - Petaloid sepals 6, yellow-green, spatulate, rounded at the apex, +/-5mm long, 2-3mm broad, with slightly darker veins, distinct. Petals smaller than the sepals, green, glabrous, hooded, 2mm long, 2mm broad at the apex. Stamens 6, ascending. Filaments green, glabrous, 1.5mm long. Anthers yellow, 1mm long, 1mm broad, bi-lobed. Ovary green, obovoid, glabrous, +2mm long, -2mm broad, slightly 3-sided, unilocular, with 3 ovules, tapering into a -1mm long style. Stigma minute. Placentation basal.
Flowering - March - May. Habitat - Rich woods in valleys, ravines, north-facing wooded slopes, moist base of bluffs. Origin - Native to U.S. and Asia. Other info. - This species can be found scattered throughout most of Missouri but is generally found in the eastern half of the state. The plant can be identified in the field by its glaucous stems, ternately divided leaves (the leaf picture above is of just the terminal division of a leaf), its greenish flowers, and its brilliant blue seeds (which I have no pictures of at this time). The plant also has a thick root which was used medicinally by natives. A tea made from the root was used to treat a variety of ailments such as abdominal cramps, urinary tract infections, and problems with the uterus. The roots may also have contraceptive properties. The root of the plant contains glycosides and alkaloids and many people get a reaction from handling the roots. The seeds of the plant are toxic and should not be eaten.
