  • Question

    This species was found in a wetland in the Town of Ticonderoga. I couldn't find a sure match in the simple key. I didn't catch a good a good picture, but the leaves were in leaflets of nine. Any help is appreciated!

    Answer

    Dear MFD09, you have photographed a species of Valeriana (valerian). I can't tell you which species because I would need to see the basal leaves to know if you have here Valeriana officinalis or V. uliginosa. It is most likely you have the former (common valerian). Best wishes.
