Family - Fabaceae Stems - To +2m tall ,erect, herbaceous, from taproot, branching above, glabrous to sparse pubescent, with musky scent when cut or crushed.
Leaves - Alternate, trifoliolate, stipulate. Stipules to 5mm long, subulate. Leaflets with petiolules. Center leaf with petiolule to 5mm long. Lateral leaflets with petiolules to +/-1mm long. All leaflets variable in shape from oblong to oblanceolate, serrulate, typically truncate at apex and mucronate, glabrous to sparse pubescent.
Inflorescence - Axillary racemes near apex of stems. Peduncles sparsely appressed pubescent. Raceme to +/-8cm long, indeterminate, +/-50 flowered. Pedicels 2.5mm long, pilose, subtended by tiny lanate subulate bract to 1.5mm long. Flowers - Corolla yellow, papilionaceous. Standard 3.5-4mm broad, 5-6mm long. Stamens diadelphous, 4mm long. Filaments glabrous. Anthers yellow. Ovary green, 1.2mm long, glabrous. Style glabrous, 2.7mm long. Calyx tubular, +2mm long, 5-toothed. Teeth subequal, +/-1mm long. Fruit to 5mm long, compressed, glabrous.
Flowering - May - October. Habitat - Fields, pastures, disturbed sites, waste ground, roadsides, railroads. Origin - Native to Eurasia. Other info. - It's hard to miss this plant in early summer as it is growing nearly everywhere. The yellow flowers are a big favorite of bees and the genus name means "Honey Lotus". As noted above, the plant produces a musky scent when cut or crushed and the scent can make some people nauseous. This scent is caused by coumarins contained in the plant. Personally, I get a headache if I pass through a dense area of the plants that has recently been cut. At one time the plant was used as an insect repellent on textiles.

Inflorescence - Single axillary flowers from upper leaves. Pedicles to 5mm long in flower, longer in fruit, 4-angled, antrorse pubescent, with 2 subopposite bracts. Bracts to 3mm long. Flowers - Petals 4, yellow, free, 5-7mm long and broad, emarginate to rounded at apex, glabrous. Stamens 4, alternating with petals. Filaments brownish-yellow, glabrous, 1.5mm long. Anthers 2.2.5mm long, yellow. Style green, 2-3mm long, glabrous. Stigma green, capitate. Ovary inferior, 4-locular. Placentation axile. Floral tube 4-angled, 4mm long and broad, winged on angles, appressed pubescent. Wings 1.5mm broad, antrorse pubescent on margins. Sepals 4, -1cm long, 6mm broad (slightly larger in flower), ovate, acute, glabrous, ciliate-margined. Nectaries between sepals (at base of stamens) to .5mm long.
Flowering - June - August. Habitat - Wet ground, borders of stream and bodies of water. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This species can be found scattered throughout the state of Missouri. The flowers are fairly showy and larger than in any other Missouri species from the genus. The species name comes from the fact that the leaves are alternate but there are also 3 other species found in the state which have alternate leaves. The flowers petals fall off very easily if the plant is shaken or disturbed. I was taught to use this characteristic as a field identification trick for the Onagraceae in college. The plant varies in the amount of pubescence on the stems and leaves. Some plants can be completely glabrous.

Inflorescence - Single flowers from leaf axils. Pedicels short, to 1.5mm long. Flowers - Corolla salverform, orange, pubescent externally, glabrous internally, 5-lobed. Lobes 3.5mm long and broad, rounded. Expanded portion of corolla 1-1.5cm broad, 1.2cm long. Tube of corolla 7mm long, 2.5mm in diameter. Stamens 5, adnate to corolla tube near its base. Filaments very short. Anthers brown, 1mm long. Ovary 4-parted, glabrous. Style 1, filiform, 5-10mm long, often exserted. Sepals 5, barely connected at base, rounded to acute at the apex, 3-6mm long, 1mm broad, hirsute. Nutlets(ovaries) becoming very hard, shiny, and yellowish with maturity.
Flowering - March - June. Habitat - Prairies, glades, rocky open ground, rocky woods, roadsides, railroads. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - The genus name of the plant means "stone-seeded" and the plant is appropriately named. The nutlets are very hard when mature and resemble small polished stones. Different flowers of the plant can actually have different sized styles (heterostylous), some shorter, some longer. The size I gave is a good average for the plants I have examined. This little plant is very common throughout most of the state and is quite striking. The plant was used by natives as a leaf tea for fevers and seizures.

Family - Lauraceae Stems - Stems to 5m tall, multiple from the base. Twigs glabrous, olive-brown, with small lenticels.
Inflorescence - Staminate flowers in a few-flowered (4-8) fascicle, emerging with the new leaves. Pedicels glabrous, to 3mm long (slightly longer in fruit). Flowers - Petals absent. Sepals 6, greenish-yellow to scarious-yellow, 2.3mm long, 1.5mm broad, glabrous, rounded at the apex, oblong-obovate. Stamens 9 (in staminate flowers), alternating with smaller capitate staminodes. Filaments glabrous, to 1.8mm long. All floral organs united at the base. Reduced ovary in staminate flowers to -1mm long. Drupe bright red, ovoid, to 1cm long, 5mm broad.
Flowering - March - May. Habitat - Low moist woods, bottoms, thickets along streams, base of bluffs, seeps along wooded slopes. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This shrubby species is easy to identify in the field because of its habitat and its pleasant fragrance. When crushed, the leaves give off a lemon scent that is reminiscent of "Pledge" furniture polish. The small flowers of the plant are some of the first to be seen in the spring. They are short lived and the plant is typically seen with just leaves or in fruit. This is a dioeceous species, meaning plants will have either male or female flowers. Staminate plants typically have many more flowers than pistillate plants.
Natives used a tea made from all parts of the plant to treat ailments such as coughs, cramps, measels, and anemia. Oil from the fruits was applied to bruises. A tea made from the bark was used to expel parasitic worms. The tea is quite good, if a sweetener is added. (give me a break, I'm from the south) A similar species, L. melissaefolium (Walt.) Blume, is extremely rare in Missouri and is endangered in North America. This latter species occurs in just one southern Missouri County (Ripley). L. melissaefolium has larger fruits than L. benzoin and more rhombic leaves. The leaves are shown below:

Disk flowers - Absent. Flowering - June - October. Habitat - Waste ground, fields, disturbed sites, roadsides, railroads. Origin - Native to Europe. Other info. - This weedy species can be found throughout Missouri. The plant is easy to identify because of its pure white sap, prickly leaves, and yellow flowers. Two varieties occur in Missouri. Variety integrifolia (Bogenh.) G. Beck has leaves which are entirely unlobed. Variety scariola has leaves which are pinnately lobed. This latter variety is more common in Missouri. The leaves of this species are edible and quite good. Natives used a tea made from the leaves to stimulate milk flow and as a diuretic. The sap of the plant can be irritating. A synonym is L. serriola L.

Family - Asteraceae Stems - Scapes to +15cm tall, glabrous or with glandular pubescence, terete, +/-1.2mm in diameter, multiple from base, from fibrous roots, with much milky sap. Leaves - Nearly all basal, +/-8cm long, +1cm broad, spatulate to oblanceolate, coarsely toothed to pinnately lobed or entire, glabrous or with glandular pubescence. Inflorescence - Single flower head terminating each scape. Involucre - 6-8mm tall, 4-5mm broad. Phyllaries glabrous or with very sparse glandular pubescence externally, glabrous internally, in essentially two series, linear to subulate, 5mm long, to 1.5mm broad. The inner phyllaries with scarious margins at least in the basal 2/3.
Ray flowers - Ligules yellow-orange, to 7-8mm long, 1-2mm broad, glabrous, 4-5-notched at the apex. Achenes chocolate-brown at maturity, -2mm long, with 15 ribs, retrorse strigillose. Pappus of 5 barbellate bristles to 4mm long and 5 erose scales to -1mm long.
Flowering - April - August. Habitat - Prairies, meadows, rocky or sandy open ground, glades. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This little species can be found mainly in the southern half of Missouri. This species can easily be grown from seed and would look good in a cultivated rock garden. It is an annual plant. The plant can be identified in the field because of its small size, bright yellowish-orange flowers, and coarsely toothed leaves. K. virginica can be confused with a similar species, K. dandelion (L.) Nutt., but the latter has larger flower heads, more bristles and scales making up the pappus, and potato-like tubers on the roots. K. dandelion is a perennial plant. K. occidentalis Nutt. is also similar but occurs in only a handful of southeast Missouri counties. This species differs from K. virginica in having only 5-8 phyllaries per flower head that remain erect in fruit.
