Unknown spotting
The flowers of this plant resemble that of the white snakeroot or thoroughwort but the leaves, which are alternate and slender, somewhat resemble that of late goldenrod. The flowers do have a nice mild fragrance to them. They stand 3-4' amidst bunched of tall grasses, milkweed, and joe pye weed.
They were spotted close to some railroad tracks in an area that may have had a lot of coal and coke spilt and dumped in prior decades. They were in a full sun environment.
Hello Timothy14 and Welcome to the Project Noah community!
We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2165... to chose the best wild photo of 2018,only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
this fragrant flowering plants flower resembles white snakeroot or thoroughwort except the leaves are thin like the tall goldenrod. I'd like any help identifying this plant.
