Plant List

I went on a plant geek field trip on Saturday to a savannah in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. The trip leader, Russell Juelg of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance encouraged each participant to keep a plant list.

Here's mine.

(Well, part of it anyway.)

Chrysopsis falcata (Sickle-leaved Aster)

Juncus caesariensis (NJ Rush)

Platanthera blephariglottis (White Fringed Orchid)

((A wee bit past prime.))

Lobelia nuttallii (Nuttall's Lobelia)

Drosera intermedia (Spatulate-leaved Sundew)

Vaccinium macrocarpon (Cranberry)

Wolf Spider

(Not a plant.)

Rhexia virginica (Meadow Beauty)

Aster nemralis (Bog Aster)

Polygala brevifolia (Short-leaved Milkwort)

Eastern Tailed-Blue
(A Flying Flower?)

Hypericum canadense (Canada St. John's-wort)

Schizaea pusilla (Curly Grass Fern)

Drosera intermedia (Spatulate-leaved Sundew)

((Yeah, a repeat, but I like carnivores.))

Sagittaria latifolia (Common Arrowhead)

Leopard Frog
(Another non-plant)
((If you look closely you can see my reflection in its eye.))

Ludwigia hirtella
(I don't know the common name.)
Update: Hairy Ludwigia

Lycopus amplectens (Sessile-leaved Bugleweed)

Sclerolepis ? (Bog Buttons)
((I don't have a specific epithet  for this one, as all my references expect the flower to be pink.))
Update: Sclerolepis Uniflora

Pearl Crescent

(Another butterfly.)

((You knew that, right?))

Lobelia cardinalis (Cardinal Flower)

Hypericum spathulatum (Shrubby St. John's-wort)

Hypericum  virginicum (Marsh St. Joh's-wort)

Utricularia cornuta (Horned Bladderwort)

We saw lots of other stuff but I was unable to get good images. :-(

Maybe next time.
