Re: [SG] False Trillium & "Worts"


I couldn't resist looking in Robert Henn's WILDFLOWERS OF OHIO. I think I
have found some other "worts" that have not been mentioned:

Bellwort (Uvularia spp.)
Coughwort (Tussilago farfara) aka Coltsfoot
Lousewort (Pedicularis canadensis), aka Wood-betony
Milkwort (Polygala sanguinea)
Miterwort (Mitella diphylla)
Moneywort (Lysimachia nummularia)

And--last but not least--Umbrella-wort (Mirabilis nyctaginea), more
commonly known as Four-O'Clock!

Sally would definitely want to include Bellwort, Miterwort, and Moneywort.
