Some more Prenanthes or rattlesnake root species.

Look at this one, all three of those leaves attached to the same plant. That's just one leaf on my hand, look at the other two above it. :D :D

Prenanthes trifoliolata




More........different leaves. ;D

Prenanthes alba




Oh, and that isn't enough to confuse ya? ;)

No, this isn't Prenanthes, it is Lactuca biennia or wild lettuce or tall blue lettuce. It's in the aster family though. It's seems to be a cross over type species. ;)

That second one,is that a young burdock plant???I have no idea what the 3rd one is but I have it here.Grows about 5-6 feet tall when matures with a flower on top.

They are rattle snake root species cfarm, no burdocks. They are asters. I can't figure which rattlesnake root species # 3 is though. It's actually wild lettuce or tall blue lettuce. It does grow tall like you say. It can grow up to 15 feet tall.

Lactuca is Latin for lettuce, or with milky sap. Wanted to see if it was just a common name or if it actually meant lettuce. The dried sap of a particular lettuce species was a substitute for opium, used by the Romans.
