Question
Hi! I'm hoping to identify these 4 plants for a class I'm taking, but they are so young that their features are a little ambiguous and I am not sure how to use the key for them. All of them are growing in Greenfield, MA. Thank you!
Answer
Dear aribenjamin, I'll help you as much as I can. The first image (with the arrow) I'm unable to assist because the plant is blurry in the photograph. The second image (arrow pointing left) is Lysimachia borealis (starflower). The third image (with the heart-shaped leaf) may be a species like Eurybia divaricate (white wood-aster). The final image is Toxicodendron rydbergii (western poison-ivy). Best wishes.
