New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) The bold purple of the New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) colors a Wisconsin streambank. This native wildflower is in the Asterales order and the Asteraceae family. It was growing along the East Branch of the Milwaukee River, just downstream from the Long Lake outlet dam. In Dundee in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. Photo taken late September 2023. Original key: IMG_9133
White panicled aster (Symphyotrichum lanceolatum) The white panicled aster (Symphyotrichum lanceolatum), or a similar aster in the Symphyotrichum genus. In the Asterales order and the Asteraceae family. This moisture-loving wildflower native to the United States and Canada was growing in shallow water at the edge of the East Branch of the Milwaukee River, mixed in with a stand of cattail (Typha). In the U.S. National Wetland Plant list, it's typically classified as a Facultative Wetland species, though it's classified as Facultative or Obligate (OBL) in some regions of the country. Seen in Dundee, Wisconsin, in Fond du Lac County. Just below the outlet dam from Long Lake. Photo taken late September 2023. Original key: IMG_9128
Bur-reed (Sparganium) seed head The spiky seed head of American bur-reed (scientific name Sparganium americanum), or a similar Sparganium species. A perennial emergent aquatic/wetland plant, native to the United States and Canada. In the Poales order and the Typhaceae (cattail) family. Often growing in the same type of habitat as the true cattails (Typha genus). The long grass-like or strap-like emergent upright leaves appear similar to the Typha cattails from a distance, though the flowers/fruits are quite different, and the leaf cross section is different. Sparganiums are closely related to the Typha cattails. An Obligate wetland plant in the U.S. National Wetland Plant List. Seen in Dundee, Wisconsin, in Fond du Lac County. On the shore of the East Branch of the Milwaukee River, just below the outlet dam from Long Lake. Photo taken late September 2023. Original key: IMG_9120
American bur-reed (Sparganium americanum) or similar bur-reed American bur-reed (scientific name Sparganium americanum), or a similar Sparganium species. A perennial emergent aquatic/wetland plant, native to the United States and Canada. In the Poales order and the Typhaceae (cattail) family. Often growing in the same type of habitat as the true cattails (Typha genus). The long grass-like or strap-like emergent upright leaves appear similar to the Typha cattails from a distance, though the fruits/flowers are quite different, and the leaf cross section is different. Sparganiums are closely related to the Typha cattails. An Obligate wetland plant in the U.S. National Wetland Plant List. Seen in Dundee, Wisconsin, in Fond du Lac County. On the shore of the East Branch of the Milwaukee River, just below the outlet dam from Long Lake. Photo taken late September 2023. Original key: IMG_9119
Sparganium (bur-reed) leaf cross section The triangular cross section of a Sparganium (bur-reed) leaf. This is probably American bur-reed (Sparganium americanum), though it could be another similar Sparganium species. Sparganium is in the Typhaceae family and bur-reeds are closely related to the Typha, the true cattails. They grow in similar marsh and shallow water habitat, and both have long grass-like or strap-like upright leaves. Their flowers and fruit are quite different, however. Leaf cross section shape is also different. As seen here, bur-reed has a triangular shape with a prominent center ridge. In contrast, true cattails (Typha) have a half-circle or crescent-shaped cross section without the sharp center ridge. Growing along the shore of the East Branch of the Milwaukee River, just below the Long Lake outlet dam in Dundee in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. Photo taken late September 2023. Original key: IMG_9124.
