  • Question

    Love this site. Thank you so much for past and future identification of our NH woodlands plants. This one taken in Windham, NH, roadside, wetlands woodlands.

    Answer

    Dear tracyd123, without images of the leaves, I can't be sure of this plant. The shape of the involucre (the series of bracts surrounding the fruits) suggests Erechtites hieraciifolia (American burnweed). Perhaps you can confirm this identification from your memory of the plant with comparison of leaf images.
