This was a plant I learned in my early days as an aficionado of the writings of Euell Gibbons. It is well worth study.
This North American coneflower is the only extent member of the genus Dracopis. However it sometimes goes by the name Rudbeckia amplexicaulis in which case is ceases to be a monotypic genus.
Found in a seine while seining in salt marsh.
Underneath bark of a dead tree limb.

This large flavigaster was found swimming in a salt marsh. The snake was beneath the water, slithering through pond weeds. It had recently eaten a meal.
This copperhead was found at about 4:30pm underneath a piece of corrugated tin by a shack surrounded by dense forest. The shack was approximately a quarter mile from a salt marsh. This individual seemed to be about 2.5 ft long.
Caught with a seine net in the a salt marsh, length= 3.7cm
