Plant Progression: Sessile Bellwort

Sessile-leaved bellwort ( Uvularia sessilifolia ) June 15 edit: this one is in fruit! See the small pod?

Exciting New Finds! - August 1

I identified some new species I've not found at the Witchwood in the past! Narrow-fruited Water-Starwort ( Callitriche palustris ) This American Jumpseed (Persicaria virginiana) isn't recorded as ocurring in Hillsborough County. I'd like to take a herbarium specimen, but I don't want to disrupt the small population. An unidentified bladderwort ( Utricularia sp. ) - carnivorous! And some old friends: Virginia Marsh St. John's-Wort ( Hypericum virginicum ) Whorled Wood Aster ( Oclemena acuminata ) Cardinal Flower ( Lobelia cardinalis ) I'd like to collect a sample of this American Groundnut ( Apios americana ) for a herbarium as it is not recorded on the Hillsborough County checklist. Ideally I'd catch it blooming... Broadleaf Arrowhead ( Sagittaria latifolia ) Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata) And some fine-looking creatures: A fishing spider (Dolomedes sp.) - I wonder what's going on with its back right legs

For 2020, I'm attempting a more scientific style as a step toward publishing some day in a scholarly journal. Scientific reports aren't everyone's cup of tea, so I'm posting a short summary here and a link to the full document here . As always, questions, comments, and corrections are eagerly welcomed. I'm an enthusiastic amateur, and I know I have an enormous amount to learn. Witchwood Biodiversity Report 2020 - Summary This report documents the biodiversity of the Witchwood, six beautiful acres of forest in Windsor, New Hampshire, USA with a four-seasons brook, forest seeps, vernal pools, and a wonderful diversity of plants, animals, fungi, and more. In this survey, I opportunistically documented any macroorganism I encountered, but the main focus was plants. This report is the result of approximately 190 hours of active
