IV. Practice
1. What marsh shrub has narrow mini-toothed leaves, and flowers in upright spikes? (You might say Carolina Willow but what else?)
2. What grass in the marsh is 6 feet tall, and related to Sugar Cane? Late in the season the inflorescence turns feathery.
3. How do you distinguish Roundpod St. John's-Wort from Peelbark St. John's-Wort?
4. What shrub often found in wet areas has narrow toothed leaves often fragrant when crushed? The flowers and tiny waxy berries form directly on the stem. The plant is related to Bayberry and can fix its own nitrogen.
(Name another shrub with berries directly along the stem---Myrsine, Beautyberry.)
5. What wetland shrub or small tree has enormous showy white flowers, and is related to Camellia and to Tea?
6. What small Holly is fond of wet woods and burned places? This small rhizome-making shrub has tiny teeth on the leaves. The berries taste terrible and turn black. The answer is not Dahoon Holly nor Yaupon Holly.
7. What Grape Vine has heart-shaped leaves with coarse teeth, and almost no hair?
8. Which Mangrove has leaves with freckles beneath, and a dunce cap bud?
9. What scrub sedge has big blue or dark-colored achenes (seedlike fruits) on long arching wands?
10. What hammock tree has the leaves golden-brown beneath?
