The tutor shares a find from the local woods.<\/h1>\n

Last Saturday, I noticed some false bugbane, then remembered seeing it even earlier. Among year-end events, field trips and such, I forgot to write a post about it. Now, I am.<\/p>\n

False bugbane catches the eye. Its flowers are white; the stamens stick out in all directions. If you can imagine a mop, held upside-down, the cloth filaments bright white, each sticking out stiffly like hair from static electricity, then you know what false bugbane flowers look like. The flower centre is green, I recall.<\/p>\n

False bugbane likes wet woods. The guide says it’s found on floodplains, which is where I’ve seen it. The one I saw on Saturday was about 50cm tall.<\/p>\n

False bugbane leaves are palmate (like a hand), the lobes toothed and pointed. The plant I saw had leaves with five lobes, but apparently they can have more.<\/p>\n

The plant seems pretty common. If you’re out in moist woods on Vancouver Island, my guess is you’ll likely see it:)<\/p>\n
