Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.
The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

R. Schipper
Wet, often marly ground: fens, beaches, stony and often marshy shores, interdunal pools and flats, sandy swales and ditches; occasionally in bogs and along trails in conifer swamps; sometimes in shallow water, with culms over 5 dm long, although normally they are much shorter. Commonly, the yellow achenes of E. elliptica persist after the scales are shed, making it easily recognized late in the season.
