FERNS - CONNECTICUT BOTANICAL SOCIETY HOME This section includes not only the plants traditionally seen as ferns, but also horsetails, which were once called "fern allies" but are now known to fall within ferns.TYPHA ANGUSTIFOLIA
Habitat: marshes, especially brackish marshes. Height: 3-6 feet. Flower size: tiny flowers in a cylindrical head around 1/2 inch across. Flower color: brown. Flowering time: May to July. Origin: Europe and North America, though not native to Connecticut. OSMUNDASTRUM CINNAMOMEUM Osmundastrum cinnamomeum (L.) C. Presl. Osmundastrum cinnamomeum. This is one of Connecticut's largest ferns. Its fiddleheads are food for ruffed grouse, and hummingbirds sometimes use the fuzz on young fronds to line their nests. Synonyms: Osmunda cinnamomea L.

PENSTEMON CALYCOSUS
Penstemon calycosus Small. Synonyms: Penstemon laevigatus Aiton ssp. calycosus (Small) Benn. Family: plantain (Plantaginaceae) Habitat: meadows, open woods, disturbed areas. Height: 2 to 4 feet. Flower size: 3/4 to 1-1/2 inch long. Flower color: pale purple outside, paler purple to white inside. Flowering time: late May to July.PTERIDIUM AQUILINUM
Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn. Bracken is easily recognized by its large, triangular fronds. It is a very common fern, and it often grows in large colonies. Bracken is a fire-adapted species. It has deep rhizomes that survive fires, and ashes make the soil more alkaline, a CYPRIPEDIUM PARVIFLORUM Cypripedium parviflorum Salisb. The classification of our native yellow lady's-slippers has been in flux. Traditionally, they were considered to be the same species as Eurasian yellow lady's-slippers: Cypripedium calceolus. The modern trend is to separate the American plants from the Eurasian, but the number of American species is underdebate.

ABOUT THE CONNECTICUT BOTANICAL SOCIETY We are a group of amateur and professional botanists who share an interest in the plants and habitats of Connecticut and the surrounding region. The society was founded in 1903. Our goals are to increase knowledge of the state's flora, to accumulate a permanent botanical record, and to promote conservation and public awareness of the state's rich natural heritage. BOTANICAL SOCIETY ACTIVITIES * We run FIELD TRIPS, led by knowledgeable botanists, on weekends from spring to fall. The trips provide a great opportunity to learn about wild plants and about the state's diverse ecosystems. Field TripSchedule .
* We hold MEETINGS in spring and autumn, each with an illustrated lecture by a naturalist or other scientist. Next meeting. * We publish a semi-annual NEWSLETTER with botanical articles and news. * We created the CONNECTICUT BOTANICAL SOCIETY HERBARIUM, a "dried plant library" with over 36,000 sheets of plants. This collection records the changing distribution of Connecticut flora. Our herbarium is integrated with the Yale Herbarium at the Peabody Museum. * We created and maintain the VASCULAR PLANTS OF CONNECTICUT CHECKLIST, a comprehensive list of plants that grow wild in the state. The list is available free for download.
* Along with the Connecticut College Arboretum and the Connecticut Urban Forest Council, we collect and distribute information on NOTABLE TREES : the state's historic trees and its largest trees.MEMBERSHIP
