Question
Hello, I would appreciate an ID on this Marsh plant. It is in Salem Sound, Salem. Thank you very much! SueLB
Answer
Dear SueLB, you have photographed Erechtities hieraciifolius (American burnweed). This is a native member of the composite family. There are two varieties of this plant, one of which is relatively rare and restricted to coastal habitats (megalocarpus), the other of which is common and wide ranging (hieraciifolius). Best wishes.
