Cinnamon fern (Osmundastrum cinnamomeum, FACW) is one of the more common ferns that typically occurs in and around wetlands. It is a living fossil with geologic records dating as far back as 180 million years ago. It grows in clumps with the cinnamon-colored, fertile fronds arising from its center.
Caesarweed or Congo jute (Urena lobata, FAC) is a Cat. 1 FLEPPC invasive. It has spread worldwide due to it's highly effective hitch-hiking bur seed. The stalk is very fibrous and can be used to create extremely strong cordage. As you may have guessed, it is in the same family as the Hibiscus (Malvaceae).
