Field Notes

Description:

These plants are annual or perennial. The leaves are divided into three to ten or more obovate and top notched leaflets, arranged palmately with all the leaflets of roughly equal size. The majority of species have three leaflets; in these species, the leaves are superficially similar to those of some clovers. The flowers have five petals, which are usually fused at the base, and ten stamens. The petal color varies from white to pink, red or yellow.

Habitat:

Acadiana Park Nature Station. "Our sole mission is to reacclimatize humans to their natural surroundings. Through this process of coming to know, to understand and finally to care about Nature, it is hoped that folks will experience the change in heart necessary for them to take personal responsibility in conserving our native plants and animals, along with restoring the natural habitats in which these organisms live."

Notes:

Acadiana Park Nature Station is a wheelchair accessible facility.
