Southeastern, New Hampshire
|
There are only a handful of plants I can find listed as growing in
New Hampshire that look anything like this one:
- Western Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea): More rounded flower
heads with some outer white bracts spreading open.
- Woman’s Tobacco (Antennaria plantaginifolia): Pussytoes like flowers,
basal, plantain-like leaves.
- Marsh Cudweed (Gnaphalium uliginosum): Leaves grow only to 4 cm long.
- Alpine Arctic Cudweed (Omalotheca supina): Alpine plant. Leaves grow only to
2.5 cm long. Tight clusters of brown flowerheads.
- Woodland Arctic Cudweed (Omalotheca sylvatica): Long, thin leaves. Flower
heads with dark green bracts bunch in terminal and axillary clusters up the stem.
- Macoun’s Cudweed (Pseudognaphalium macounii): Leaf blades extend
downwards after attaching to the stem (decurrent). Glandular-hairy stem and
wooly white hairs only near the inflorescence.
- Heller’s Cudweed (Pseudognaphalium helleri): Glandular-hairy stem and
wooly white hairs only near the inflorescence. Leaves not distinctly decurrent. (See
Pseudognaphalium macounii above.)
- Rabbit Tobacco (Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium): Seems to match this plant.
