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.

A European weed, first collected in Michigan in 1935 near Ypsilanti, Washtenaw Co. Still local along roadsides, in oak-hickory forests, and on river banks, but likely to spread. The ligules are light yellow when fresh but turn blue on drying.
