Identification Note: The identification and separation of Zizia and Thaspium can be very difficult. For the present I have preserved the names from the original photos. In the future, if I have made mistakes in identification, they will be corrected and more photos will be added. Unfortunately, I didn't have any photos labeled Zizia aurea so it will be added later.
