Central, New Hampshire (Southern White Mountains)
|
The day before a plant identification class, I found this pussytoes plant a little ways
up a trail in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. There are only five species of
pussytoes in New England. Three of those have basal leaves that are less than
15 mm wide. Out of those three, only two have a “flag” (papery appendage)
at the tip of the stem leaves. Out of those two only Field Pussytoes has a matting of
wooly hairs on the back of the basal leaves.
