M.J. Oldham # 32644, specimen record, replicates at MICH 1430283, TRTE, NHIC# 06546 (home), UWAL, JK England, OAC, +1; identified as Carex retroflexa by M.J. Oldham, !A.A. Reznicek 2007, Jan. 2013; open woods; edge of woods; local
I think this might be D. x correllii (D. carthusiana x goldiana)
mid-stem leaves in comparison photo: S. flexicaulis (L), hybrid (centre), S. caesia (R). Lower stem leaves of hybrid were broader, with obvious lateral veins (see e.g., plant at bottom left of photo 1)
gravelly xeric esker slope
Keys out neatly to G. concinnum using both Reznicek and Weakley.
Sandy-gravelly floodplain woodland. Abundant but localized.
WDV 305
Needs work! Sampled.
All of the wild gingers (Asarum canadense sensu lato) I was able to find throughout this sandy floodplain forest had glabrous, short-acuminate, strongly reflexed petals like this plant. I am not sure how widespread this variety is in Canada, but certainly is expected to be Carolinian in distribution.

collection # 34029
Glomerules not cylindrical, leaves with callous apices, inflorescence branches spreading more than 90 degrees (per FNA key). Growing with Comandra umbellata, Antennaria parlinii ssp. fallax, and across the road from a population of Thalictrum thalictroides, another locally rare species of well drained, sandy soil. This species has never been recorded in Niagara, Ontario but is known from adjacent Niagara County, New York.

Reznicek Jan. 2013 as Carex oligocarpa; bottomland deciduous woods, with Poa pratensis, Carex blanda, Arctium minus, Dactylis glomerata; opening surrounded by Rhamnus cathartica; several robust clumps beside boulder, near opening in woods (campfire area near overhanging bouldering rock); GPS waypoint 905
@donaldasutherland this one is not ringing any bells
Not sure about this one. Plant appearing to grow prostrate (albeit small), leaflets suborbicular but seeming a bit longer than photographs of the species online. Stipules persistent. Your thoughts @michael_oldham ?
Degraded site, lots of nonnative Lonicera, along waterfall
Seen with the Charles Bryson!
In dry sandy soil at trail edge.
Oak-hickory woods.
Collected. Maple-beech forest, clay soil.
M.J. Oldham, S Varga, WD Bakowsky, GM Allen, DA Sutherland 18080; specimen record, replicates at DAO, MICH, NHIC# 00025; identified by M.J. Oldham, !A.A. Reznicek 1996 as Adenocaulon bicolor ; 300-400 mature plants on fairly steep wooded slope of W Birch, Abies, Thuja; flowering; growing with Aster macrophyllus, A. cordifolius, Carex eburnea, Abies balsamea
Seen on a walk through some woods in our old neighborhood.
date is August 1980 (exact day unknown)
Photo taken from road over/overpass, many plants growing below.
Small patch in disturbed riparian area.
I found a few of these goldenrods in a mesic sandy site in a young oak-maple forest. They superficially resembled rough goldenrod (Solidago rugosa) but they were completely glabrous except for a few hairs in the inflorescence and along major veins on the abaxial leaf surfaces. Careful examination of the plants using the Flora of North America description made me very confident that this is, in fact, elm-leaved goldenrod (Solidago ulmifolia), and it resembles the individuals of that species which I've seen in the States. Proximal cauline leaves (i.e., lowermost leaves) were senesced at anthesis.
WDV 232 (to UWO).
Essex County, Ontario, Canada.
Only one individual found, growing in the centre of the trail.
Truly stumped by this one. Vaguely leptalea-ish, with single erect spike and narrow leaves, growing in a boggy roadside ditch adjacent to Black Spruce bog. ~19 perigynia in each spike.
Beaver pond.
Abies balsamea - Pinus mariana - Populus tremuloides forest slope with shallow, damp soil.
Not sure what this is...growing at edge of trail in sandy conifer plantation.
Perigynia glabrous. Leaf undersides sparsely long-hairy.
Hairy leaves, sheaths, and glumes. Keys best to Phalaris aquatica using FNA key, but Lemmas are awned which seems inconsistent with that species. Habitat fits though - disturbed riparian moist meadow with carex spp, Juncus spp, Scirpus atrovirens,elc.
Large, old, badly damaged tree about 10 km north of perhaps the northern-most naturally occurring population of this species, suggesting there are or were shumardii trees near the location of this hybrid.
Note that the name Quercus x riparia refers to the cross between Q. shumardii var. schneckii and Q. rubra. There is does not seem to be an official scientific name for the hybrid between Q. shumardii var. shumardii (one of the putative parents of this tree) and Q. rubra, so I'm using Q. x riparia as a place-holder for this observation.
Thanks to Albert Garofalo for bringing me to this site.
Found on edge of riparian treed swamp.
Glumes less than 1mm wide (photo 3).
Edge of trail on sandy soil.
About 15 plants in upper extent of reservoir inundation zone on damp muddy soil. Very small but several culms rooting at nodes.
