    A Few More Things I Noticed While Walking Through A Forest In Southern Connecticut A Few Days Ago. Some Images Are of The Same Thing In Hopes To Help Present A More Solid Question. Again, Any Help With Identification Would Be Greatly Appreciated. -Perceptive Plants

    Answer

    PerceptivePlants, image number 1 is a species of Rubus (raspberry), possibly Rubus phoenicolasius (wine raspberry). Images two and three are Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard). Image four is Ajuga reptans (carpet bugle). Image five is a species of Rhus (sumac), possibly Rhus hirta (staghorn sumac), but I cannot see the branchlets well enough to tell. Images six and seven are Polystichum acrostichoides (Christmas fern). Image eight is a young shoot of Rubus (raspberry). Images nine and ten I cannot see enough of the plant to help with the identification. The last image is again Rubus, probably Rubus phoenicolasius (wine raspberry).
