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.

Dentaria laciniata of Michigan Flora

Usually in rich beech-maple forests and northern hardwoods, very rarely in drier oak forests. Quite local (and often vegetative) in the northern Lower Peninsula and eastern Upper Peninsula. Blooms earlier than C. diphylla, although there may be some overlap. The segments of the leaves are usually ± sharply toothed, but occasionally entire or nearly so. The rhizome segments in this species may be as thick as 1–2 cm although usually they are much smaller; they are whitish or yellowish when fresh (more brown when dry).
