Habit, at Frog Lake.
This and the individual at right are pistillate, and are either in
bloom or in fruit (the pappus-topped seeds give the shrub much the
same general appearance as the pistillate flowers).
Shrub at lower right is Rhamnus tomentella, and the dark green, grasslike plant
between the Baccharis and the Rhamnus is a Juncus.
