IDENTIFIED AS SWAMP LOOSESTRIFE. This mystery plant
seems to be a vine. It grows in bogs/wet areas.
I found
this one growing at Chesney Conservation Area, near Drumbo, Ontario.
It grows up and bends over, eventually touching the ground where
it roots and grows up again. It is very strongly rooted where it
touches the ground -- it's hard to pull it free. It's almost like a
vine.
This photo shows a branch growing towards the ground.
- Water Willow (Justicia americana,
or even possibly ovata) (RH)
- Decodon verticillata
(Swamp Loosestrife) (CR, WM)
