Question
Hello. I found this plant regenerating in a moist forest opening in Somerset County, Maine. I am guessing it is in the aster family. Can you help with ID?
Answer
Dear Skytes, good afternoon. It looks like you may have two different plants. The first one (above view) may be Solidago rugosa (wrinkle-leaved goldenrod). The second I'm unsure of, but the opposite leaves and rugose texture of the blades suggest (possibly) Scutellaria lateriflora (mad-dog skullcap). I hope this is helpful.
