Cofrin Memorial Arboretum
The Cofrin Memorial Arboretum 290 acres (120 hectares) surrounds the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay campus in Green Bay, Wisconsin, United States. Its six miles (10 km) of trails are open to the public. Today's Arboretum began in 1971, when a long-range campus plan was drawn up, recommending the creation of a park-like arboretum and trail system. In 1975, a major contribution in honor of John and Austin Cofrin enabled development of the trails, additional property, and improvements in the botanical plantings. At present the Arboretum contains the following areas: ; Keith White Prairie : 8.5 acres (3.4) maintained through prescribed burns. Grasses include big bluestem, Indian grass, and switch grass. Flower species include yellow cone flower, prairie dock, lupin, Rudbeckia hirta, black-eyed Susan, spiderwort, and false indigo. ; Mahon Woods : a remnant of the indigenous forests, with 59 species of trees and shrubs including oaks (''Quercus alba'', ''Quercus rubra''), sugar ...

Erythronium Albidum
''Erythronium albidum'', the white fawnlily or white trout lily, is a small herbaceous geophyte in the Liliaceae, lily family. It is also known as adder's tongue, white dog's-tooth violet, serpent's tongue, trout lily, deer tongue, and yellow snowdrop. Large numbers of this plant indicate that the woodland has never been subjected to heavy machinery, where it would be unable to grow due to soil compaction. Description Morphology The white fawnlilies often forms extensive colonies in which immature, non-flowering, 1-leaved plants far outnumber flowering, 2-leaved ones. Flowering 2-leaved plants produce a short, slender, red stem tall, which bear two oblong basal leaves. The leaves are lanceolate, long and broad, dark green and covered with a mottled pattern of purple blotches. It is difficult to distinguish between ''Erythronium albidum'' and ''Erythronium americanum'' based solely on leaves. The root system consists of a central corm that sends out Stolon, stolons which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
