Field Notes
We took a 10-15 min. walk over to the CMP power line area on 10-16-12 to see if there was any purple loosestrife or lythrum Salicaria it was about 10 degrees celcius and sunny. I was one of the equipment carriers, sadly our group did not find loosestrife, but we did find a different plant. We know it is not loosestrife because it did not have a square stem and the stem was not smooth with hairs, also the leaves were way to big and there was only one leaf that looked like it had a stem stuck right through the middle, they were about 18 cm long and had little hairs on them. They were also diamond shaped and turning a brownish color. We don’t know what color the flowers are. From the information I just told you you can tell that this is not loosestrife but it is similar to it in some ways.
