Trifoliate compound leaves with reddish, pubescent stems. Leaves are pubescent, pinnately-veined, and coarsely serrate or dentate. The "tooth" at the end of each leaflet, centered on the midvein, is shorter and smaller than surrounding teeth.

Shrub about two meters tall. Woody stems are pubescent. Leaves are deltoid-ovoid or lanceolate with ciliate margins, especially near their base. Flowers have five petals and stamen, one pistil. Petals are fused and tubular. Flowers are fused in pairs with distinctive oxbow or horseshoe shape. Pith is solid and white.

Woody shrub with lobed, serrate, palmately-veined leaves and dark, peeling bark along main stem. Flowering twigs are glaucous. Pink flowers hang in racemes: five petals fused with five racemes, five stame fused to petals, one pistil with inferior ovary. Flowers appear fleshy.

Tall, pylose stalk with long leaves. Inflorescence in an umbel. Flowers have six tepals, a three-parted, protruding stigma, and six stamen hidden inside. Found growing within a mound of Carex sp. in an open, swampy area.

Stoloniferous, prostrate plant growing in moss. Stolons are reddish and glabrous. Leaves are ovate, palmate, and squarely crenate with hispid hairs across the top surface and along the veins on the bottom surface. Petioles are also pubescent.

Four simple, entire, oblanceolate, whorled, evergreen leaves with acute tips and arcuate veins. Stem is reddish and runs to the shoot of this year's growth. Inflorescence shrouded by large, white, showy bracts. Growing on a hummock in a cedar swamp.

Basal rosette of large, fleshy, long, simple leaves with prominent midvein and serrate margins. Some leaves have reddish tinting. The midvein is pubescent at its base on the underside of leaves. Central stalk of plant is very pubescent and supports a spike of flower buds with long, ribbonlike sepals protruding at random. Growing in an open, inundated area ringed by cedar swamp and adjacent to open water.

Small, fleshy forb with distinctly ovate, cleft, opposite cotyledons. Top leaves are longer, crenated, and pinnately-veined. Stem is reddish and translucent. Growing on half-submerged rocks and banks of a stream.

Large woody shrub with monoicious flowering habit. Female catkins smaller than male catkins. Old female fruiting structures present: appear woody and conelike. Twigs are smooth and dark with obvious speckling. Growing beside a stream.

Basal rosette of pinnately-compound leaves. Leaflets are palmately-veined, serrate, and seem to become hispid with increased age and size. Terminal leaflet is ovate. Paired leaflets have intermixed sizes, with tiny leaflet pairs between larger ones, and the overall size increasing with distance from the center of the rosette. Found beside a stream.

Long-leaves with parallel veins and a distinctive "M" shape. Leaf bases have closed sheaths and create a triangular column. Many leaves remain from last year. Male and female flowers occupy separate stalks, and a shorter peduncle droops off of the base of the tall flower stalks. Found in a low-lying, open, inundated area ringed by cedar swamp.

Prostrate, stoloniferous plant with pubescent woody stem. Leaves are simple, pinnately-veined, pubescent, serrate, and oblanceolate. Inflorescence sprouts from upper axil of leaf; last year's fruit remains. Fruit is heart-shaped.

Very pubescent, fleshy leaves in sheathed "stack." Basal leaves smaller and rounder than longer, larger top leaves. Leaves simple and serrate. Base of leaves terminates in reddish, glabrous scales with a red-brown, glabrous, woody root.
