Abies Balsamea
''Abies balsamea'' or balsam fir is a North American fir, native to most of eastern and central Canada (Newfoundland west to central Alberta) and the northeastern United States (Minnesota east to Maine, and south in the Appalachian Mountains to West Virginia). Description Balsam fir is a small to medium-size evergreen tree typically tall, occasionally reaching a height of . The narrow conic crown consists of dense, dark-green leaves. The bark on young trees is smooth, grey, and with resin blisters (which tend to spray when ruptured), becoming rough and fissured or scaly on old trees. The leaves are flat and needle-like, long, dark green above often with a small patch of stomata near the tip, and two white stomatal bands below, and a slightly notched tip. They are arranged spirally on the shoot, but with the leaf bases twisted so that the leaves appear to be in two more-or-less horizontal rows on either side of the shoot. The needles become shorter and thicker the higher they ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Maianthemum Stellatum
''Maianthemum stellatum'' (star-flowered, starry, or little false Solomon's seal, or simply false Solomon's seal; star-flowered lily-of-the-valley or starry false lily of the valley; syn. ''Smilacina stellata'') is a species of flowering plant, native across North America. It has been found in northern Mexico, every Canadian province and territory except Nunavut, and from every US state except Hawaii and the states of the Southeast. It has little white buds in the spring, followed by delicate starry flowers, then green-and-black striped berries, and finally deep red berries in the fall. Description ''Maianthemum stellatum'' is a herbaceous perennial plant It grows from extensively branching rhizomes, often forming dense patches. Plants are 2-6 dm tall with 8-11 leaves. Leaves Leaves can be variable, but are usually clasping and often blue-green and folded along the mid-rib. Flowering clusters Flowers are set in an un-branched cluster ( raceme) at the tip of the flowering ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Duchesnea Indica
''Potentilla indica'' known commonly as mock strawberry, Indian-strawberry, or false strawberry, often referred to as a backyard strawberry, mainly in North America, is a flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. It has foliage and an aggregate accessory fruit similar to that of a true strawberry. It has yellow flowers, unlike the white or slightly pink flowers of true strawberries. It is native to eastern and southern Asia, but has been introduced to many other areas as a medicinal and an ornamental plant, subsequently naturalizing in many regions worldwide. Many sources consider this plant part of the genus ''Potentilla'' due to evidence from chloroplast genetic sequence data that the genus ''Duchesnea'' is included within ''Potentilla'', though some still list it as ''Duchesnea indica''. Description The leaves are trifoliate The following is a list of terms which are used to describe leaf morphology in the description and taxonomy of plants. Leaves may be simple (a single ...

Fragaria Virginiana
''Fragaria virginiana'', known as Virginia strawberry, wild strawberry, common strawberry, or mountain strawberry, is a North American strawberry that grows across much of the United States and southern Canada. It is one of the two species of wild strawberry that were hybridized to create the modern domesticated garden strawberry (''Fragaria'' × ''ananassa''). Subspecies There are four recognized subspecies: :*''Fragaria virginiana'' subsp. ' (formerly known as ''F. ovalis'') :*''Fragaria virginiana'' subsp. ''grayana'' :*''Fragaria virginiana'' subsp. ''platypetala'' :*''Fragaria virginiana'' subsp. ''virginiana'' Cytology All strawberries have a base haploid count of 7 chromosomes. ''Fragaria virginiana'' is octoploid, having eight sets of these chromosomes for a total of 56. These eight genomes pair as four distinct sets, of two different types, with little or no pairing between sets. The genome composition of the octoploid strawberry species has generally been indicated ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fragaria Vesca
''Fragaria vesca'', commonly called the wild strawberry, woodland strawberry, Alpine strawberry, Carpathian strawberry or European strawberry, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the rose family that grows naturally throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere, and that produces edible fruits. The Latin specific epithet ''vesca'' means "thin, feeble". Description Five to eleven soft, hairy white flowers are borne on a green, soft fresh-hairy stalk that usually lifts them above the leaves. The light-green leaves are trifoliate (in threes) with toothed margins. The plant spreads mostly by means of runners ( stolons), but the seeds are viable and establish new populations. Taxonomy Vilmorin-Andrieux (1885) makes a distinction between wild or wood strawberries (''Fragaria vesca'') and alpine strawberries (''Fragaria alpina''), a distinction which is not made by most seed companies or nurseries, which usually sell ''Fragaria vesca'' as "alpine strawberry". Under wild or wood strawb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spiranthes Cernua
''Spiranthes cernua'', commonly called nodding lady's tresses, or nodding ladies' tresses, is a species of orchid occurring from Maritime Canada to the eastern and southern United States. As the common name suggests ''cernua'' means "nodding", or "bowed" in Latin. Description ''Spiranthes cernua'' plants grow to tall. They have 1 to 5 narrow, basal, upright leaves, long and wide. The leaves are present during flowering but wilt afterwards. The white flowers are arranged in a spiral around the stem. Each flower is long and consists of 3 sepals and 3 petals, all curved forward to give the flower a long bell shape. Flowers are slightly to strongly nodding (hence the name), with older flowers usually nodding more than new ones. The dorsal sepal (the one at the top) is convex and recurved upwards towards the tip. The lip (bottom petal) curves strongly downwards towards its tip. Etymology The genus name, Spiranthes, originated from the Greek words speira (coil) and anthos (flower ...

''Lysimachia borealis'' (synonym ''Trientalis borealis''), the starflower, is a North American woodland perennial that blooms between May and June. Description Starflowers have creeping rhizomes with vertical stalks. Each stalk has a whorl of 5–10 lanceolate leaves (up to 8 cm long) at its tip, with 1-4 (most often one or two) white flowers on smaller stalks extending from the center of the whorl.

Cynoglossum Boreale
''Andersonglossum boreale'', known as northern wild comfrey or just wild comfrey, is a species of flowering plant in the borage family, Boraginaceae. It is native to boreal coniferous and mixed forests in North America, from Nova Scotia to British Columbia and Yukon in Canada, south to New Jersey and Indiana in the United States. It is often found in rocky or sandy soils. It is extirpated (locally extinct) from many of the southern parts of its range. Description Northern wild comfrey is a small, perennial herbaceous plant growing up to tall. The oval-shaped leaves are broader at the base of the plant, growing long and wide with short petioles. The upper leaves clasp the stem. A branching inflorescence is produced at the top of the plant, with several, small, five-petaled blue flowers. The fruit is a bristly nutlet. Taxonomy Northern wild comfrey was originally described as ''Cynoglossum boreale'' Fernald in 1905. It has since been treated as a subspecies or variety of '' Cy ...

Phragmites Australis
''Phragmites australis'', known as the common reed, is a species of plant. It is a broadly distributed wetland grass that can grow up to tall. Description ''Phragmites australis'' commonly forms extensive stands (known as reed beds), which may be as much as or more in extent. Where conditions are suitable it can also spread at or more per year by horizontal runners, which put down roots at regular intervals. It can grow in damp ground, in standing water up to or so deep, or even as a floating mat. The erect stems grow to tall, with the tallest plants growing in areas with hot summers and fertile growing conditions. The leaves are long and broad. The flowers are produced in late summer in a dense, dark purple panicle, about long. Later the numerous long, narrow, sharp pointed spikelets appear greyer due to the growth of long, silky hairs. These eventually help disperse the minute seeds. Taxonomy Recent studies have characterized morphological distinctions between the int ...
