Plant No. 7 |

This is a plant that grows wild in this area. It grows
very close to the ground, near wooded areas where it can get
morning sun. The leaves have long "hairs ". The one in the
picture has just been sprinkled with water, so it appears
more shiny than normal. Native Americans used this plant and
animal fat to make an ointment to treat poison oak. |

1 - Streptocarpus - Richard W. Peters, M.D.
2 - Whoever sent this sure didn't give many clues! The leaves
resemble Silene caroliniana; Silene virginica
but these are not hairy ... their exotic cousins are though.
Best guess then would be Hieracium venosum. or Poor
Robins Plantain; Rattlesnakeweed .... as the plant
seems to be mostly basal leaves and this guy lives in woods
as well. -Mark Feider - Milwaukee
3 - I think plant number 7 is Hieracium, Orange or Yellow
Hawkweed. -Treasa Iho
