nipplebract arrowhead, Sagittaria papillosa
Nipplebract arrowhead is separated from other arrowhead species by the bumps on the bracts at the bases of the flower stalks, and by the smaller bumps on the sepals. Nice feature, since the arrowheads all kind of look alike. This one grows in AL, LA, OK, and TX. Big Thicket National Park, Hardin Co TX, 4/16/22. Water-plantain family, Alismataceae.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
