Today I went to the lake to make a collection from the naturalized population of Cotoneaster down by the lake. While doing that, I photographed some other plants in the area.
Later, I went to a woods just inland to check on the status of a particular listed plant. It was not detectable at present, but that may be due to the season. I did find many other interesting woodland and swamp plants. Unfortunately, run-off from a nearby project has deposited mud over many of the best parts of the swamp and the margins of the meandering woodland stream that drains it. DNR was informed.

Perigynia radiate rather than ascend. These plants are in alluvial woods.

It keys here because of the pilose receptacle, but let me know, if you disagree. I always worry about confusing this with laciniatum.

Maybe I'm kidding myself in thinking I still see a long style on the top fruit in the second picture.

This looks much like laterifloris, but it creeps by long rhizomes.

The fields to the east are being developed, so all of this sediment washed down into the swamp during a big rain on Saturday.

I may be totally wrong. I am not sure what else these would be. This was a swampy spot in an old stream meander.

There were three OTHER Cardamine spp. from prior inventories, but this didn't seem right for any of those...hopefully not C. pensylvanica.

New county record!
Check that. I crossed the county line into Racine Count, so second county record! I will have to follow the river back into Milwaukee County to get a record there.

growing throughout swampy area... Older, dead stems are bristly.

This one keyed easy. Blades were terete and septate, and the inflorescences were only about 1/9 the height of each plant.

Plants were growing in a small seep.
