Shrubs up to 1 meter tall.
My thanks to Albert Garofalo for bringing me to this site.
According to Albert, Carex lupuliformis also is present but rare in this wetland forest, but apparently not this part of it, and C. lupulina is much more common throughout this site.
A problematic weed in boggy pots, not (and never) cultivated.
Photographed over a few weeks in April, 2013.
Growing in a sphagnum bog.
These photos also were posted on the USDA PLANTS Database website several years ago.
Photographed in 2011 and 2014.
Most of these photos also were posted on the USDA PLANTS Database website several years ago.
Growing in a damp meadow with Carex annectens and C. stipata.

Two of the fruit photos have Q. palustris acorns indicated at the left with red arrows. At the right is Q. rubra and at center is Q. × columnaris (palustris × rubra).

Fruit from tall (2 meter), dead, herbaceous plants.
Growing on a frequently mowed roadside.
Little weed tree at the edge of a road, photographed over several days.
Reminiscent of small skunk cabbages.
Destroyer of sweaters.
The last photo is of a seedling, derived from the plants pictured, photographed a couple of months later.
With developing fruit.
Quercus palustris × rubra, growing with both parent species, which are common at this location.
The last three photos are of fruit from (1) Q. palustris, (2) hybrid, and (3) Q. rubra at this site.
My thanks to Albert Garofalo for showing me this woodland.
Enormous tree for this species, perhaps 60ft tall and 2ft DBH. If it hadn't been flowering, from a distance I might have thought it was an old oak. Last year's infructescence collected off the ground beneath the tree.
Growing in a very dry, frequently mowed roadside lawn.
A weed with potted plants.
Lawn weed.
A substantial weed in pots and a yard.
Serpentine soil area.
Growing wild in a field.
Alnus maritima subsp. georgiensis J.A. Schrad. & W.R. Graves
The third photo compares A. maritima (1) to A. serrulata (2), which were growing together at this site.
My thanks to Joel McNeal for bringing me to this site.
Cultivated tree. The four-season combo pic (last image) made of photos taken in 2014 and 2015.
A weed with potted plants. The fruiting plant pictured here (first two photos) likely is the offspring of this plant from a year earlier:

The last photo is of a seedling, photographed about four months later, likewise a weed in a pot and probably the offspring of the fruiting plant pictured here.
A weed in a pot, the source seed probably from contaminated potting soil.
Probable descendants of this plant:

Plant nearly 2 meters tall, a weed in a garden bed, not planted. Thousands of seeds rain down on everything, resulting in many generally unwelcome seedlings (last two photos, taken about six months later).
A vine growing around low tree branches.
A weed in a frequently mowed area, near a mature plant of this species.
Germinating as weeds in garden beds and sometimes lawns, usually persisting for up to a couple of years, until they get weeded or mowed out of existence.
Old, cultivated tree, possibly planted over a century ago (as were many of the plantings in this area of the arboretum). Trunk and bark photos (last five) from February 2018.
My thanks to Heather Schibli and Zack Harris for accompanying me to this site.
Walking around on leaves of a shrub of Edgeworthia chrysantha.
Naturally occurring tree in a small woodland remnant.
Leaves abaxially glabrous, pedicels short.
Weedy, shrubby trees growing near the edge of a woodland.
Seedling photographed nearly one year later.
Growing on a frequently mowed roadside.
Chiococca pinetorum in some floras.
My thanks to Roger Hammer for bringing me to this site.
Abundant on fallen branchlets in this area. Galls represented here were beneath the trees shown in the last photo.
Growing in a sphagnum bog.
A weed in a lawn and garden beds.
Fruiting branches easily available due to a very tropical-storm-like event one day earlier. This tree is a tropical hammock woodland remnant, not cultivated.
Seed photos (last four) taken one week later.
My thanks to Roger Hammer for bringing me to this site.
Small shrub about 2ft tall.
Naturally occurring tree at the edge of a forest, not cultivated.
Photos of twigs and fruit from three cultivated trees:
Photos taken in January and November 2022.

Two species pictured, (1) Acalypha gracilens; (2) A. rhomboidea. Weeds growing together, photographed in the same few square meters in 2019 and 2021.
Very weedy in garden beds, the edge of a lawn, and with potted plants.
Most photos taken over a couple of months in 2011. Seedling photo from February 2012.
Acalypha gracilens and A. rhomboidea compared here:
