Question Very cool! Thank you for your identification of the little twinflower (Linnaea borealis).There are many possibilities, but it is certainly close to this plant. The shrub looks like Spiraea chamaedryfolia (germander meadowsweet), or a closely related species. Thank you! SueLB Answer Dear SueLB, good morning. I am requesting help with the Germander shrub and am hopeful that the species can be determined. The structures you point to appear to be small, axillary leaves haven't fully formed. The background color is certainly consistent with this species, though there are usually +/- red, elongated marks on the surface of the bark as well. The plant you have photographed may be Swida rotundifolia, but I can't see the branchlet surface well enough in the image to be certain. SueLB Answer Dear SueLB, good morning to you. I am researching this Round-leaved Dogwood and am wondering what the yellow-green structure just below the purple stem is called, also what it's purpose might be. Thank you very much, SueLB Answer Dear SueLB, I can't see the ovary surface of this plant in the uploaded image, but everything is consistent with Euphorbia maculata (spotted sandmat), a native member of the Euphorbiaceae. I had earlier been able to ID this noxious plant but lost the info and cannot come up with it again. Best wishes.Īn easy one for you, I am sure. Often, they will be well exserted beyond the tubular sheath once the plant is mature and the flowers are open (i.e., actively dispersing pollen). Thank you, SueLB Answer Dear SueLB, the inflorescence (i.e., the array of spikelets) are partially hidden within the leaf sheath.
other than a flower or inflorescence is developing from the stem/sheath. In researching Timothy grass I am having trouble deciphering exactly what is happening here. The blue fruits, typical of this species, help corroborate this hypothesis. There is only one species that does this: Swida amomum (silky dogwood). SueLB Answer Dear SueLB, the flowers of this dogwood clearly show an apically dilated style (i.e., one that expands near the apex). I was able to match a few photos from your site to come up with the species but I am stuck on Photos #7 and #8. I thought I was done with your help for the year but I can't seem to settle on this Dogwood. I think I would need to visit this tree or receive specimens from it to give you a more confident answer. It does appear to be an apple or some genus closely related to apples. You've taken a very nice series of images, but I can't be certain about who you have photographed. Thank you Very Much! It is located in Salem Sound, MA Is there any more information you are able to give me? You might try expanding the departments menu on this page:, to find one of the horticulture staff to direct this message to. They may have previously constructed lists that you could choose from and they would have more knowledge about what you can likely access. You might want to contact the horticulture department at Native Plant Trust for this question. However, what may be available in the trade and wouldn't be is not my expertise. I think there are a great many plants that would suffice for the purposes you are seeking.
Thanks Answer Dear Tschurman, good afternoon. Ideally the plants would have a mid-high salt uptake capacity, could be harvested on an annual or biennial rotation without having to be replanted.ĭo you know of any plants that could fit the bill? Any insight is appreciated. This is for a potential project to reduce road salt impacts on well water in Southern New Hampsire. I'm trying to compile a list of perennial halophytic plants suitable for zone 3-5 for possible phytoremediation of salt contaminated soils. These plants look more like Asclepias exaltata (poke milkweed) based on the opposite leaves and relative large fruits. Thank you!! Answer Dear Eelking, good morning. Habitat: in understory of deciduous forest adjacent to an old dirt road
