It can be eaten, either raw or cooked. Leaves and stems are used to make tea. Ripe seeds are roasted and brewed into a coffee substitute. It is a common weed in hay and grain crops because of its ability to cling to stems during harvest Madder Family Rubiaceae Bedstraw, Cleavers Galium spp. (N) Habit: Low, spreading stems with paltry roots. The stems, leaves and fruits are covered with bristly, clinging hairs for dispersal. Habitat: Moist, shady, disturbed soil, such as along trails in wooded parks Mallow (Hibiscus) Family Malvaceae Dwarf Mallow, Cheeseweed - Malva neglecta Wallr. (I) The Malvaceae is a large (>2000 species) family that includes: Hibiscus (Okra, H. esculentus), Theobroma (chocolate), Cola, Gossypium (cotton), and many local natives and weeds. Malvaceae are characterized by alternate, palmately lobed leaves, star shaped hairs, and mucilage canals in stems and roots (source of marsh-mallow). The flowers are radial, 5-merous with the stamens fused into a tube (monadelphous).
2 Dwarf Mallow, Cheeseweed Malva neglecta Wallr. Habit: Low, spreading annual or biennial, blooming from late spring to fall Habitat: Gardens, lawns, cultivated and disturbed areas Leaves: Long-petioled, palmately veined and lobed, heart-shaped base, folded along veins Flowers: White to purple, fused at base, prominent tube of fused stamens (hibiscus-like) Fruit: Buttonlike woody capsule, breaks into separate, singleseeded units at maturity (a schizocarp) Rocky Mountain Maple, Douglas Maple Leaves: opposite, broadly heartshaped, with 3-5 palmate lobes, serrate margin with many small, sharp teeth, dark green above, lighter below, bright yelloworange to crimson in autumn Maple Family - Aceraceae Maple family (Aceraceae) and Horsechestnut family (Hippocastanaceae) have recently been combined into the Soapberry family (Sapindaceae) Maple Family has 2 genera, ca. 120 species All shrubs or trees Leaves opposite and palmately lobed or compound Ovary superior Fruit in Maples, a large, double samara (winged schizocarp) Rocky Mountain Maple,Douglas Maple Flowers: yellowishgreen, with 5 petals, and 5 sepals, usually male or female (sexes on separate shrubs); in clusters (cymes) of 5-15 Fruit: V-shaped pairs of wrinkled, winged seeds (samaras) hanging on slender stalks, greenish to tan, tinged red when young Rocky Mountain Maple, Douglas Maple (Acer glabrum Torr) Habit: Deciduous shrub or small tree, 1-7 m tall, clumped; branches opposite, greyish bark and reddish twigs Habitat: wetlands, stream banks, canyons, and upland mountain slopes. It usually occurs between 5,000 and 12,000 feet. Rocky Mountain Maple, Douglas Maple Uses: Rocky Mountain maple is important for watershed cover and browse for wildlife and domestic animals. Some Native American tribes favored the straight stems for arrow shafts, and the pliable wood for snowshoe frames. The Navajo's used an infusion of twigs as an anti-rheumatic and to treat swelling. The young shoots can be harvested in the spring and cooked like asparagus.
