Question
One more question from the northern New York and Maine plants. This is another plant from a forested, swampy area, sampled at the end of June. Unsure what species it is. Originally thought it belonged to the violet family (a guess was made for northern blue violet), but I'm pretty sure that's not the case, particularly with the toothed margins. There were no flowers at the time of sampling, but it was a cold spring and most plants weren't flowering yet. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
Answer
kkl234, I can't be sure of the species from the images provided, but it looks like Symphyotrichum cordifolium (heart-leaved American-aster). It is a species that is frequent in many kinds of forested habitats.
