Drosera linearis is a herbaceous perennial with gland-tipped hairs covering long linear leaves. Plants form rosettes that are 6–15 cm wide. The stalks of the leaves are 5 mm wide and hairless. The leaf blades are linear-shaped, 1–6 cm long, and 1.5–3 mm wide with edges lined with hair-like glands.
Lilium michiganense is a species of true lily commonly referred to as the Michigan lily. [3] It is a wildflower present in prairie habitats in the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi Valley regions of the United States and Canada , from South Dakota through Ontario to New York , south to Georgia and Oklahoma .
Leaves of most plants include a flat structure called the blade or lamina supported by a network of veins, a petiole and a leaf base; [1] but not all leaves are flat, some are cylindrical. [ citation needed ] Leaves may be simple, with a single leaf blade, or compound, with several leaflets .
A broad-leaved, broad-leaf, or broadleaf tree is any tree within the diverse botanical group of angiosperms that has flat leaves and produces seeds inside of fruits. It is one of two general types of trees, the other being a conifer, a tree with needle-like or scale-like leaves and seeds borne in woody cones. [1]
The leaves are simple, narrowly oblanceolate to linear, and borne in whorls of six to eight. [10] [11] [12] Cleavers have tiny, star-shaped, white to greenish flowers, which emerge from early spring to summer. The flowers are clustered in groups of two or three, and are borne out of the leaf axils. [13]
The largest known living red maple is located near Armada, Michigan, at a height of 38.1 m (125 ft) and a bole circumference, at breast height, of 4.95 m (16 ft 3 in). [8] Leaves on a branchlet from a specimen in northern Florida. The leaves of the red maple offer the easiest way to distinguish it from its relatives.
Westringia longifolia is a small shrub that grows to 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) high with a similar spread. The linear shaped green leaves are arranged in whorls of three, 12–35 mm (0.47–1.38 in) long, 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) wide, more or less flat, margins smooth, both surfaces with occasional hairs or smooth, and the petiole 1–1.7 mm (0.039–0.067 in) long.
The specific epithet honors Frank Murray, the person who discovered the Michigan population of the species. [8] Betula murrayana is an evolutionarily recent species that arose through hybridization between Betula alleghaniensis and another hybrid, Betula × purpusii (a hybrid of B. alleghaniensis and Betula pumila ).
