Mitchella repens

Wikipedia • Commons • Wikibooks (horticulture) • Wikibooks (subject) • Wikispecies • Fruit and seed clock

Profile for Mitchella repens (Partridge Berry)

Identifying Characteristics
Habit:	Creeping herbaceous forb
Flowers:	Dimorphous, twin white tubular flowers (grown from one calyx) with four petals, covered with fine hairs. They grow axillary at the end of a branchlet. Each flower has one pistil and four stamens. While in one twin flower this pistil is short,in the other it is long. With a short pistil come long stamens, or vice versa. This dimorphy prevents self-fertilization by one flower.
Foliage:	The evergeen dark-green leaves are opposite, ovate to cordate, with a pale yellow midrib. The petioles are short.
Stem:	Creeping, but not climbing, vine, 15-30 cm long.
Fruit:	Red berry about 1cm across featuring two "eyes" opposite the stem.
Life Cycle:	perennial

Monotropa uniflora

Wikipedia • Commons • Wikibooks (horticulture) • Wikibooks (subject) • Wikispecies • Fruit and seed clock

Profile for Monotropa uniflora (Indian Pipe)

Identifying Characteristics
Habit:	Herbaceous forb
Flowers:	Single white flower, 10-15 mm long with 3-8 petals.
Foliage:	White scales close to the stem, 5-10 mm long
Stem:	White, 10-30 cm.
Growing Conditions:	Since it is not dependent on sunlight to grow, it can grow in very dark environments as in the understory of dense forest.
Life Cycle:	Perennial
Similar Plants:	Orobanche uniflora
General information:	Unlike most plants, it is white and does not contain chlorophyll. Instead of generating energy from sunlight, it is parasitic, more specifically a myco-heterotroph. Its hosts are certain fungi that are mycorrhizal with trees, meaning it ultimately gets its energy from photosynthetic trees.

Flowers:	The flowers emerge from a tall, upright stem. Female flowers are maroon in color.
Foliage:	It has green arrowhead-shaped leaves and red-tinted deeply ridged stems, and it sprouts from an aggressive rhizome. The leaves are edible, imparting a pleasing, tart taste, but should not be eaten in large quantities. The tartness is due to the presence of oxalates which are also responsible for its toxicity.
Growing Conditions:	It favors moist soil, so it thrives in floodplains and near marshes
Life Cycle:	Perennial
