Caution students: This is not Plant TV!
This material is based on notes taken during Boreal Flora class, taught by in Northern Michigan by Dr. Edward G. Voss. Some plant names have changed in the intervening years (to protect the innocent?) While care has been taken to verify items listed here, errors have likely occurred. It's your grade, so it's wise to do extra homework.
