mcharpentier's Identifications

In part I put these photos up to show, if needed, the difference between these and some red mulberry leaves which can look quite similar, but the venation near the margins is quite different, the the abaxial pubescence.

On a south-facing rocky talus slope in rich woods of oak, hickory and maple in the shade. The dropping heads look like Poa saltuensis at a glance, to which the algorithm agreed. Surprised to see this is only the second iNat observation in Massachusetts of this widespread and fairly common (S4S5) grass.

I have no experience with this species, but all fruit clusters are terminal and the AI also suggested C. scandens. Growing from a mostly open talus community of very large boulders. @karro_frost. @wernerehl. @threepogonias.
