Family - Asteraceae Stems - To +2m tall, glabrous, glaucous, herbaceous, erect, from a short caudex and large thickened roots, fistulose, simple but widely branching in the inflorescence, sometimes with few black glands near nodes (from leaf petioles). Leaves - Basal leaves long-petiolate. Petioles with an adaxial groove (groove "U" shaped), often purplish at the base. Blades large, cordate, coarse shallow dentate, deep green adaxially, glaucous abaxially, to +20cm long, +15cm broad. Sinuses and teeth rounded. Cauline leaves similar to basals but reduced, becoming more sharply toothed, often cuneate at the base of the blade or truncate. Petioles of cauline leaves often with abaxial black glands.
Inflorescence - Terminal corymbiform arrangement of multiple flower heads, to +/-20cm broad at maturity. The peduncles glabrous. Some divisions of the inflorescence subtended by small bracts. Involucre - Uniseriate, of linear bracts (5-6), to 1cm tall, 3-4mm in diameter, cylindric. Phyllaries overlapping on margins, appearing united, with scarious margins, yellowish-green to greenish-white, subacute at apex, to 1.5mm broad.
Ray flowers - Absent. Disk flowers - 4-5 per flower head, exserted from the involucre. Corolla greenish-white, glabrous, 5-lobed. Corolla tube to 5mm long. Lobes to +3mm long, linear, curling. Stamens 5, adnate at the apex of the corolla tube, exserted. Filaments green, glabrous, 2mm long. Anthers connate around the style, brownish, to +2mm long. Style green, glabrous, well exserted, bifurcate. Stigmas spreading. Achenes green in flower, +/-2mm long, terete, glabrous. Pappus of white barbellate bristles, to 5mm long, many.
Flowering - June - October. Habitat - Wooded slopes, rocky stream margins, open woods, railroads, roadsides. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - The leaves of this species are quite thick and leathery. The plant is often found wilted in periods of little rain. The leaf pictured above is typical of the plants I have encountered but the leaves can be quite variable in shape.

Family - Liliaceae Stems - To 2m tall, herbaceous, erect, much branched, glabrous, from rhizomes, green. Branches thin and drooping.
Leaves - Alternate and reduced to scales on main stem, glabrous. Leaves of upper branches linear, to 2.5cm long, .5mm broad, in groups of 1-5 per node, glabrous, appearing as if in fascicles like pine needles. Inflorescence - Single or paired flowers from leaf axils. Pedicels jointed, to +1cm long, glabrous.
Flowers - Perianth segments(tepals) whitish-green, to 6.5mm long, 1.5mm broad, with subscarious margins, rounded to obtuse at apex, glabrous. Stamens 6, adnate at base of perianth segments, included. Filaments to 3mm long, glabrous. Anthers orange, 1.6mm long. Style 1.1mm long, glabrous. Stigmas 3. Ovary superior, 1.8mm long, green, 3-locular. Berries to 1cm in diameter, red, glabrous, with 3-6 seeds.
Flowering - May - June. Habitat - Pastures, fencerows, old cultivated fields, disturbed sites, open woods, roadsides, railroads. Origin - Native to Europe. Other info. - The flowering period is not really as important with this plant as the sprouting period. This is when you can go out and collect the young shoots to eat. Why spend $2 a pound when you can drive down the road and collect 5 or 6 pounds in less than an hour? You just have to know where to go. White asparagus, very trendy these days, are actually sprouts which have been grown under a layer of mulch so that they do not produce chlorophyll. White and green asparagus come from the same species or even the same plant. The upper leaves of this species are not really leaves at all but are, in fact, reduced branches. The true leaves are scalelike and on the main stem. A officinalis is a dioecious plant meaning that male (staminate) and female (pistillate) flowers are produced on different plants.

Family - Asclepiadaceae Stems - To +50cm long, erect or ascending, multiple from base, from thick roots, herbaceous, with milky sap, glabrous, often purple-green.
Leaves - Alternate, short petiolate. Petioles to 6mm long, minutely pubescent. Blade ovate-lanceolate, typically truncate at base but also slightly rounded, entire, to 12cm long, 5cm broad, sparse appressed pubescent, apex blunt to emarginate or rounded. Veins often pinkish above.
Inflorescence - Axillary and terminal umbellate cymes. Peduncles glabrous, green, to -5cm long. Pedicels to 3cm long, puberulent, subtended by linear bracts to 6mm long, -1mm broad. Flowers - Petals 5, erect, lanceolate-ovate, -2cm long, to 8mm broad, glabrous. Hoods purple, 5-6mm long, margins infolded. Horns absent. Anther head 3mm in diameter, 3mm tall, blackish and green. Pollinia purple and gold, 2-3mm long. Carpels 2, 3.5mm long, enclosed by column. Sepals 5, 5mm long, 2mm broad, lanceolate, pubescent externally. Follicles to 13cm long, sparse pubescent. Seed to +6mm long, broadly ovate to suborbicular. Coma to 4cm long, whitish.
Flowering - May - July. Habitat - Rocky prairies and glades, fields, roadsides. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This plant is a beauty and should be cultivated more. The slightly spreading nature and big flower clusters make the plant (I think) very desirable in the garden. The plant would need no care once established. Milkweeds are gaining popularity and I hope this species does also. The plant is very common in Missouri, especially in the southern half of the state. Responsible seed collection would be a simple matter as the follicles are hard to miss.

Family - Euphorbiaceae Stems - Woody, to +/-1.5m tall, erect, branching. Twigs ferruginous, with some long strigose hairs or glabrate, often with some vertical grooves, ribs, or angles. Leaves - Alternate, short-petiolate to sub-sessile. Petioles to 2mm long, glabrous or with some hairs adaxially. Blades orbicular (more or less), entire, glabrous, deep green above, lighter below, +/-2.5cm long and broad.
Inflorescence - Axillary fascicles of few to many flowers. Fascicles subtended by ferruginous bracts. Bracts to 2mm long, .6mm broad (at the base), attenuate, ciliate-margined, with some hairs on both surfaces. Pedicels of flowers to 1.5cm long in pistillate flowers and shorter in staminate flowers, glabrous, thin.
Flowers - Staminate flowers with 4-5 petals and 4-5 sepals being similar, green, to 2mm long, 1.5mm broad, ovate to obovate, rounded at the apex. Sepals with some cilia on the margins. Petals and sepals mostly glabrous or with a few hairs externally. Stamens 5, erect, with green expanded nectaries at the base. The nectaries flattened, +/-1mm long. Filaments greenish, 1.5-2mm long, glabrous. Anthers yellow to tan, .2-.3mm long. Styles 3, glabrous, greenish, 1.1-1.2mm long. Pistillate flowers with 5 sepals. Sepals accrescent, to 5mm long, 4mm broad, broadly obovate, glabrous, rounded at the apex. Capsule with the styles persistent and short. Styles bifurcate at the apex and reflexed, 1mm long, becoming purple, the stigmas recurved. Capsule to +/-7mm in diameter, 6-seeded, 6-valved, green, glabrous.
Flowering - May - October. Habitat - Gravel bars, limestone bluffs, knobs, glades. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This interesting species can be found in just a handful of southern Ozark counties. It is the only woody member of its family to be found in Missouri and is easy to identify because of its rounded leaves, small flowers, and habitat. Steyermark wrote that perhaps this species was a relic from the time before the last Tertiary uplift which has survived because of adaptations to cold, drought, and exposure. The rest of the woody euphorbs are all tropical.

Family - Scrophulariaceae Stems - To +3m tall, erect, typically simple, from large fleshy roots, glabrous, 4-angled, (the angles rounded), fluted with a single groove on each side of stem, herbaceous. Pith white. Leaves - Opposite, decussate, petiolate. Petioles to +/-7cm long, often purplish above, with an adaxial groove, sparse glandular pubescent. Blades cordate to truncate at base, serrate, ovate, acuminate, dull green and glabrous above, light green and puberulent on veins below, to +15cm long, +/-9cm broad. Inflorescence - Terminal and axillary thrysoid panicles to 30cm long(tall). Each division of inflorescence subtended by gradually smaller linear bracts. Lowest division of inflorescence subtended by foliaceous bracts. Peduncles and pedicels with glandular pubescence. Glands deep purple to black, (use a lens to see the color). Pedicels to 1.5cm long in flower, slightly longer in fruit.
Flowers - Corolla bilabiate, greenish, glabrous, 8-9mm long. Upper lip 2-lobed. Lobes rounded, reddish or at least with reddish margins, -3mm in diameter. Lower lip 3-lobed. Central lobe reflexed. Lobes 2mm long, rounded. Style exserted, greenish-white, often deflexed on the central lobe of the lower lip of the corolla, sparsely glandular pubescent or glabrous. Stamens 4, didynamous, one pair slightly exserted by the lower lip of the corolla. Filaments to 4mm long, greenish-white, glandular pubescent. Anthers yellow, 1.3mm broad. Staminode purplish, adnate to the upper lip of the corolla, included. Ovary superior, green, ovoid, 1.2mm long, 1.2mm in diameter, subtended by a thick yellow nectariferous ring, 2-locular. Placentation axile. Seeds(ovules) many. Calyx green, glabrous, 5-lobed. Lobes ovate, 2mm long, 1.5mm broad, rounded at the apex. Calyx tube to -1mm long.
Flowering - July - October. Habitat - Rich woods, ravines, thickets, stream banks, woodland borders. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This species is found throughout Missouri. When not in flower, this species can be confused with another species, Agastache nepetoides (L.) O. Ktze., from the Lamiaceae. When in flower, though, S. marilandica is unmistakable because of its tall size and big open thrysoid panicles. Steyermark lists two forms for the plant based on leaf pubescence but even he admits they are probably not valid. Traditionally this species was used as a tea and a poultice for many ailments from fever to anxiety. While I was out taking some of these pictures my co-worker Dan slipped and fell on this Copperhead: Copperheads, Agkistrodon contortrix, are great snakes and this fine specimen didn't even try to bite and stayed very still so that we could take her picture.

Family - Caryophyllaceae Stems - Multiple from the base, ascending, herbaceous, from a weak taproot. The horizontal portion of the stem with scarious scales. The erect flowering portion of the stem to +15cm tall, retrorse puberulent on half of the stem, sparsely pubescent on the other half, branching, terete.
Leaves - Opposite, decussate, sessile, linear to subulate, entire, to +1cm long, 1mm broad, glabrous but ciliate-margined at the base. The bases of the opposite leaves connate, estipulate. Inflorescence - Congested bracteate cymes or single axillary flowers. Flowers sessile. Bracts foliaceous.
Flowers - Petals absent. Sepals 5, green with lighter margins, lanceolate, to 3mm long, 1mm broad, glabrous. Hypanthium -2mm long, obconic. Stamens 5-10 (rarely less), erect, much shorter than the sepals. Filaments glabrous, .5mm long, broadened at the base and lining the edge of the hypanthium. Anthers bilobed, yellow, .2mm long and broad. Ovary green, superior, glabrous, 1mm long in flower. Styles 2, glabrous, 1mm long.
Flowering - March - October. Habitat - Glades, roadsides, railroads. Origin - Native to Europe. Other info. - This little species is easily overlooked in the field because of its small size and weedy habit. The green flowers are easily missed also. The plant is, however, easy to ID in the field because of its small size, linear leaves, and green flowers. Steyermark reported the plant in just one county. Since that time it has been found in two more counties and its range almost certainly will increase in Missouri with time. Below is a mature specimen:
