Habitat: Introduced from Europe, a weed of disturbed sites across North America; borders of pastures and cropland. Uses: Extremely poisonous, even small amounts can be deadly. Poison Hemlock (I) Conium maculatum L. Western water-hemlock, Douglas water-hemlock (N) Cicuta douglasii (D.C.) Coult & Rose Habit: Robust, perennial herb; foul-smelling, oily, yellow sap; enlarged, horizontally chambered taproot Habitat: Native to intermountain region, wet depressions, often in standing water; plains to subalpine Uses: poisonous (esp. root); acts on central nervous system; can take effect within 15 min. of ingestion. Symptoms include salivation, tremors and violent convulsions. Leaves: Shiny green, finely 3-4X pinnately divided; Lower leaves on long stalks clasp the stem; foliage strong, musky smelling. Flowers: Borne in many umbrella-shaped clusters, each supported by a stalk; white with sepals lacking. Fruits: Paired seeds, 1/8 long, light brown, ribbed and concave. Poison Hemlock (I) Conium maculatum L.

2 Cow-parsnip (N) Heracleum maximum Bartram Habit: Native; large (>6 ) perennial; large, lobed leaves; hairy, grooved stems, fleshy root Habitat: mostly in moist disturbed sites, and along roadways, especially in mountainous regions. Uses: Defensive furanocumerins can cause contact dermatitis with exposure to sunlight. However, Cow-parsnip leaves, flowers and roots are readily eaten by many animals (deer, elk, marmots, bears [yerba de oso], and livestock) Western Sweet-cicely (N) Osmorhiza occidentalis (Nutt.) Torr.

Roots are dried/roasted and ground to flour, with a sweet, nutty flavor.

3 Gairdner s Yampah (N) Perideridia gairdneri (H. & A.) Mathias Leaves: alternate, usually once-pinnately divided into long, slender segments; often withered when flowers open Flowers: White, tiny; loose, twice-divided, flattopped umbels; July to August. Fruit: Brown, rounded, about 2mm long, with several prominent ribs (like a caraway seed). Cypress Family Scientific name: Cupressaceae The seeds are usually exposed, not enclosed by a fruit structure like a flowering plant, hence the name Gymnosperm: "naked seed." Cupressaceae seeds are produced on the surface of scales of a woody or fleshy cone, often so tightly fit together that it resembles a berry, as in the familiar garden junipers. The leaves are scale-like, closely hugging the stem, either opposite (2s) or whorled (3s) Common Cat-tail (N) Typha latifolia L. Habit: Perennial herb, 1-3 m tall, grasslike from coarse, submerged rhizomes Habitat: Marshes, ponds and shallow slow-flowing water, sea level to mid-elevations in the mountains Uses: Edible rhizomes, impt, for waterfowl, beavers/muskrats; 1 acre of cattail marsh yields 3 tons of flour (80% starch); Spring shoots are edible; Protein-rich pollen is edible (add to flour); can weave fibrous leaves Utah Juniper (N) Juniperus osteosperma (Torr.) Little Habit: Perennial,evergreen: Bushy tree w/ rounded crown; forked, multiple trunks; thin, fibrous, shreddy bark Habitat: Widespread desert shrub; common on dry plains, plateaus, riparian; between 4,000 and 7,500 feet. Common Cat-tail (N) Typha latifolia L. Leaves: grass-like, stiff and spongy, sheathing stem at base Flowers: many flowers in dense spikes; male flowers at top, female below Fruit: achenes surrounded by a tuft of hairs, in brown spikes Utah Juniper Leaves: scale-like (juvenile leaves more needle-like), 3 to a node (sometimes 2), small (ca.1/8 in), more coarse than Rocky Mountain Juniper. Leaf margins are finely toothed. Cones: Both male and female cones found on same tree (monoecious); male cones tiny, brownish near twig tips; female cones berry-like, globe-shaped; berries are copper colored at maturity (2 years); Cones usually 1- seeded (rarely 2)

4 Utah Juniper Juniperus osteosperma (Torr.) Little Uses: wood is highly decay resistant and has long been used for construction, fence posts, firewood, and pencils. Juniper "berries" are edible; eaten by jackrabbits, foxes, and coyotes. Many bird species depend on juniper berry-cones for fall and winter food; foliage grazed by mule deer when other foliage is scarce and during periods of deep snow. Dried berries used to flavor foods such as stews, sauerkraut, wild game and gin (jenever) Cones: Plants are Dioecious - male and female cones on different trees; female cones nearly round; mature cones bluishpurple, covered in greyish bloom; cones are usually 2-seeded. Rocky Mountain Juniper Rocky Mountain Juniper Juniperus scopulorum Sarg. Habit: Small tree/large shrub (10 20 ft tall); growth form often conical to pyramidal (sometimes rounded); twisted trunk; reddishbrown scaly bark Habitat: Dry, open foothill and montane slopes ( ft) Rocky Mountain Juniper Uses: As for Utah Juniper; Eaten by humans and wide variety of wildlife; Seeds must pass through animal gut to successfully germinate Leaves: Typically opposite, in 2 s (sometimes in 3 s); scale-like and finer than Utah Juniper; back sides of needles bear inconspicuous glands; leaf margins smooth; Juvenile leaves needlelike Rocky Mountain Juniper Dogwood Family Scientific name: Cornaceae Shrubs with opposite, entire, simple leaves, with veins curving parallel to margin Flowers usually small and 4 merous, Fruit a red or blue (white) drupe from an inferior ovary

5 Red-Stemmed Dogwood, Red-osier Dogwood Cornus sericea Michx. AKA: C. stolonifera, C. alba, Svida sericea Habit: Erect to sprawling, deciduous shrub; Stems with opposite branching; bark purple to red Habitat: Grows on moist sites in plains, foothills and montane zones and in riparian zones Evening-primrose family Onagraceae Flowers 4-merous Ovary inferior, with elongated hypanthium Sepals, petals, and stamens emerge from a common rim (hypanthium) on the ovary Red-Stemmed, or Red-osier Dogwood Leaves: opposite, simple, entire, ovate to lanceolate, 2-4 long, w/ 5-7 prominent veins converging toward tip, turn red in fall Flowers: white, forming dense flat topped clusters at the branch tips, in May to July Fruits: fleshy, white (bluish), berry-like drupes, containing large, flattened stones Cornus test: torn leaf is held together by threads of xylem Fireweed, Great Willowherb, Blooming Sally Epilobium angustifolium L. Habit: Perennial herbs, erect stems 4-5 ft tall, with profuse pink flowers, from spreading rhizomes, highly clonal Habitat: Native, Open, disturbed sites, after fire and avalanche, roadsides; foothills to subalpine Red-Stemmed, or Red-osier Dogwood Uses: Drupes are edible, although not too sweet Some tribes used the white inner bark to make tea for its laxative effects; also smoked bark for sickness of lungs; the inner bark contains coronic acid (analgesic), so used as a salicylate-free (aspirin) pain-killer The young branches, "osiers", of this shrub have been used by Native Americans to weave baskets and the bark of the stems has been traditionally collected to make a red dye. Leaves: alternate, lanceshaped, sessile; with oxalate crystals Flowers: pink to purple (rarely white), saucershaped with 4 sepals, 4 petals, 8 stamens, in long, showy racemes, blooming from July to September Fruit: from Inferior ovaries, erect, linear pods (capsule), splitting lengthwise to release 100s of seeds, each tipped with a fluffy, white tuft of hairs Fireweed
