Swamp Lousewort

Notes:

Swamp lousewort is a perennial herb that may grow from 1 to 3 feet (3-9 dm) tall. The leaves are oppositely arranged on the lower stem and alternately arranged on the upper stem, oblong to lance-shaped, variably lobed or toothed on the margins, and up to 4 inches (10 cm) long. The flowers, appearing in August and September, occur in a terminal cluster. The petals are partially fused into a tube-like shape, yellowish, and about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long. The fruit consists of a many-seeded capsule. Swamp lousewort has a range from southern New England west into the Dakotas and south into Arkansas and Georgia.
