Pearl’s fen, Greene co. OH

Nabalus racemosus

Glaucous leaved hairy topped rattle snake root,

A fen endemic in the southern states and a high PH boreal species in the north, you really only see these in areas of fens where calceric waterlogged gravel beds are with permiated marl like qualities

Symphyotrichum firmum

Smooth swamp aster, taken out of S. puniceum complex due to flower morphology, sparcely pubescent to glaberous stems and ploidy.

two common ones,

Verbesina alternifolia,

Alternate leaf mesic forest wingstem.

Ageratina altissima,

Tall snakeroot, tall milksickness weed,

The plant that cows eat that occasionally cause milk sickness and killed honest Abe’s mom, thanks @locallysourcedtrauma for the history lesson btw.
