B. Willowherbs (ONAGRACEAE)
The Evening Primrose is probably the best-known member of this large family. Most bees cannot collect the pollen grains of willowherbs because they are stuck together; only certain bee species can pollinate willowherbs, all of which flower from June. With the exception of the American Willowherb all the willowherbs listed here are native plants. Preparations from willowherbs are astringent, and must be taken with care, especially with regard to dosage.
C. Hoary Willowherb (Epilobium parviflorum)
This small species has the upper leaves alternate and not clasping the stem. There are woolly hairs on the lower stem.
