asperpony's Identifications

Some leaves appear to have been bitten by insects. This is native to IL and has a secure conservation status. I identified it based on the smooth, oval shaped leaves and the purple color of the emerging flowers. No flowers so cannot do floral formula.

The plant appears to have no damage from insects. It is native to IL, and is not in the verge of extinction in IL, but it is endangered in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Arkansas. I identified this based on the 4 light purple petals and its alternating leaves. It is radial. There are 4 sepals and 4 petals. There are 6 stamen. There ate 3 carpels and ovary is superior.
