Hello,

I think I have a few -- very few -- Small Skullcap (Scutellaria parvula)
and Kalm's Lobelia (Lobelia kalmii) plants. They resemble photos and
descriptions in the guidebooks "Tallgrass Prairie Wildflowers" and
"Northland Wild Flowers", respectively. However, I'm not certain of their
identity. Can someone suggest a better guidebook for identifying skullcap
and lobelia species?  Thank you.

I'm particulary surprised by the Kalm's lobelia because as far as I can
tell it is not native to SW Wisconsin.
