Aceraceae Aceraceae Maple Red Maple Aceraceae Maple Big Tooth Maple Aceraceae Maple Box Elder Aceraceae Maple Box Elder Adoxaceae Small, perennial, mat-forming herb with lobed leaves. Erect flower stems topped by a box-like structure with five flowers attached, one on top of box and one on each side. Flowers regular and perfect. Flower structure unique in that the number of sepals, stamens, and other floral parts of the top flower are not the same as those on the side flowers. Fruit a dry berry with 4 or 5 nutlets.

Sumac Anacardiaceae Sumac Sumac Anacardiaceae Sumac Poison Ivy Apiaceae Annual, biennial, or perennial herbs. Leaves usually divided several times. Flowers mostly regular and perfect. Sepals 5 or lacking; petals 5, small. Stamens 5, pistil 1. Fruits large or small, round or long and pendant, horizontal, or vertical. Members of this large and very frequently encountered family often have flat-topped, pancake shaped flower clusters (umbels)sometimes quite small, sometimes eight inches in diameter. Distinctive Parsley smell, especially when foliage or seeds are crushed. Some Parsley Family species in our area are very visible: Ligusticum porteri; some are easily overlooked: Oreoxis alpina; some are deadly: Cicuta maculata."Umbelliferae" is an accepted alternate scientific name for this family and it is used by Stanley Welsh (A Utah Flora).
The Parsley Family is also called the Carrot, Umbel, or Celery Family.

NAMENOTES Asteraceae This is the largest plant family in the United States (~2,400 species) and the world (~23,000 species). The family is made up of shrubs and herbs with inconspicuous to showy flower heads that appear to be one flower but are actually a composite of a number of flowers. Flower heads may be made up of long, narrow, arching ray flowers (Dandelions, Taraxacum spp); or may be made up of short vertical, cylindrical disk flowers (Thistle, Cirsium and other genus spp); or, most commonly, may be made up of both ray and disk flowers (Sneezeweed, Hymenoxys hoopesii). Ray flowers may number from one to several dozen. Disk flowers are often in the many dozens. Fruit an achene, a one-chambered dry, hard fruit varying considerably in size.
"Compositae" is an accepted, but uncommonly used, alternate name for this family. Stanley Welsh (author of A Utah Flora) calls this family "Compositae" not "Asteraceae". The Sunflower Family is also called the Aster, Daisy, or Composite Family.
