No ligule, auricles,

or hairs; raceme

seed head; grows

from a rosette.

Alternate leaves on the stem; egg shaped to elliptical; leaf grows

down the stem; wavy/smooth leaf margin (depends on age). Tends to

be more wavy at the base of the leaf but smooth toward the tip.

Five prominent veins running down the leaf; short and

fat/wide leaves; smooth leaf margins, smooth texture.

Five to seven prominent veins running

down the leaf; long and narrow leaves,

about the width of a thumb (1 inch)

Grows from a rosette; leaves are

deeply lobed with one spine on the tip

of each lobe only. Leaf surface will be

covered with tiny hairs. Often

confused with _____ which

has many thorns per lobe.

Seeds have a

single hair on

each seed; seed

heads are

compact and

opposite of each

other.

Small spade shaped leaves that are

opposite of one another. About the size of

your pinky nail. Winter annual plant.

Branches out; seed leaves are long and narrow,

will grow opposite of one another; true leaves

often have 3-5 lobes and are serrated, very rough

textured—like sandpaper. Seed leaves are long

and narrow, smooth-waxy texture. Stems are

thick and almost woody, most commonly

confused with cotton.

Grows up and branches off; leaves come off stem

as a “V” then come to a point, leaf margins are wavy

towards the tip of the leaf. Leaves are attached by a

long, narrow petiole.

Thick leaves that come off opposite and

are about 10-19 cm long, 5-11 cm wide.

Bleeds a milky white sap. Dominate, white

mid-rib vein.

Thick, succulent leaves and stem.

Stem can usually be reddish-purplish

color. Leaves can grow to be about the

width of your thumb nail. Only

succulent plant on list.

Annual plant. Can grow to be about 5ft tall; hairy

stems and light greenish leaves; leaves are simple but

appear to be compound because of how deeply lobed

each leaf is. Often confused with Wild Carrot.

Annual; only grass with

hairs on stem, makes a

chicken foot- like seed head.

Grows from a rosette.

Herbaceous vine, leaves are alternate and pinnately compound, with 15

to 25 pairs of leaflets. Compound leaves range from 5 to 10 cm in length

and have nine to twenty-five leaflets. Leaflets are one to two cm long.

Leaflets have smooth margins. Leaves form an even pinnate. Seed leaves

have only three leaflets. First true leaves will have four leaflets.

Long, narrow, lance-shaped leaves are curled and

have wavy margins. Can have a very tall stalk (seed

head)

Grows from a rosette;

lobes are pointed and point

back to the center of the

plant; only makes one

flower per rosette and will

never have leaves.

Leaf-less vine; has slender, twining or

threadlike stems that vary from pale green to

yellow or bright orange. It’s a parasitic annual

plant that infests many crops, ornamentals,

native plants, and weeds.

Hairless, annual

grass that produces

numerous green to

straw-colored spiny

burs at maturity.

Seeds are very

sharp and can be

dangerous to both

people and animals.

Hairs are completely absent on the leaf.

(Plants aren’t supposed to have hair)

Has very long hairs one the lower leaf surface.

Trident shaped

leaves (three points),

very rough in texture.

Grows to be about 10

-

15 ft tall, leaves are

about the width of

your hand.

Stems have flat

sides, leaves do

not grow down

the petiole,

makes a lantern-

like fruit, veins

are very visible.

Has spines on stem and on midrib vein along upper

and lower leaves, wavy leaf margin.

Short hairs, seed heads will branch

out and are usually found on top half

of plant, does not bleed, leaf margins

will have small indentions, biennial,

rosette leaves are wider than mature

leaves.

Seed pod is large and spikey leaves have very distinct odor when rubbed, seed leaves are very long, slender, and come to a point.

Spreads by rhizome, large panicle seed

head leaves are 1” wide with thick white

midrib vein stems are thick, tallest of all

the grasses.

An invasive, perrenial vine.

_____ is a legume as

evidenced by its trifoliate

leaves. Leaflets are attached

to petioles. Leaflet margins

are entire and pointed.

Young vines are covered

with bronze hairs that fall

off when the plant gets

older.

Binding vine. Leaves can be heart shaped,

ivy leaf style, even cypress-leaf style.

Will not have an arrowhead appearance

like Field Bindweed.

Spreads by rhizome, stem is triangular, leaves

have groove down the center (“V” shaped) leaves

grow at the bottom and top of the plant.

Has small thorns on the

underside of the midrib vein,

leaf margins makes short,

pointed lobes similar to an

immature dandelion.

Leaves are about 1in long oblong shaped (football

shaped), alternating, does not bleed, nodes are

slightly swollen, grows from a rosette.

Leaves come off opposite, bleeds a white

sap, are not succulent.

Seed leaves are narrow, pointed toward the end, true leaves are alternate along the stem and are oval or long and narrow with very visible veins.

Winter annual broadleaf weed; rosette leaves are

lobed. Seed heads are heart-shaped and alternating.

An annual legume that is common in

the Southeast. Leaves make an even

pinnate and the leaflets are egg

shaped. Leaflets are opposite, have 2-

3 pairs, and the pair closest to the

stem is smallest. Pairs get larger

closer to the tip of the leaf. Similar in

appearance to Peanut plants when

immature.

Perennial, leaves are very long and

narrow, comes to a point, come off

opposite. Flowers look similar to a brain.

Grows in areas that collect an excessive

amount of moisture, such as low-lying

areas and ditches.

Biennial plant that resembles

dandelion. Rosette leaves also point

back towards the stem but true leaf

margin’s are prickly but not painful;

makes several flowers per plant rather

than one.

Leaves are heart-shaped with serrated-like leaf margins,

entire surface area is very “velvety.”

Biennial,grows from a rosette, compound leaves, flowers form an umbel, if given at the contest a carrot will not be shown.

In the brassica family, the only one w/ hairs on

the leaves, leaf margin is toothed/serrated,

somewhat lobbed.
