Carex jamesii, known as James's sedge or grass sedge, is a species of sedge native to North America from Minnesota east to New York and south to Oklahoma and South Carolina. It occurs in mesic hardwood forests and produces fruits from early May to mid July. It has two to four perigynia that are subtended by leaf-like pistillate scales. Its seeds are dispersed by ants.

Its natural habitat is in high-nutrient, often calcareous soil, in bottomland forests, mesic forests, and wet meadows. Carex cherokeensis is a rhizomatous perennial graminoid. It has drooping spikes which are 8–9 mm thick. Its perigynium beaks are papery and fragile. It produces fruits in late spring and early summer.

Carex barrattii is a species of sedge known as Barratt's sedge. It is endemic to the United States, where it occurs on the Atlantic Coastal Plain from Connecticut south to Georgia and Alabama. It also occurs in the southern Appalachians. This sedge has stems growing 20 to 90 centimeters tall. The leaves are a few millimeters wide and pale blue-green in color. The plant produces dark purple flower spikes, but flowering occurs rarely. The plant reproduces vegetatively via rhizome. This plant grows on wet streambanks and savannas, and in pine barrens. It is not uncommon in the Pine Barrens of

Carex nigromarginata, also known as black edge sedge, is a North American sedge which grows on acid soils in dry woodland, thickets, and roadside, and similar ruderal habitats in partial shade or in full sun, often near streams at elevations of 10–800 m (33–2,625 ft). The plants grow in dense clumps, often forming circular patterns on forest floors or roadsides. 2n = 36.

Carex laxiculmis, the creeping sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cyperaceae, native to Ontario, Canada, and the central and eastern United States. As with most species of sedge, it prefers to grow in shady, wet areas. Its cultivar 'Hobb', sold under the trade designation Bunny Blue, is available from commercial nurseries.

Carex gynandra, also known as nodding sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family, Cyperaceae. It is native to eastern Canada and the United States.

Carex gracillima, called the graceful sedge or purple-sheathed graceful sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Carex, native to central and eastern Canada and the central and eastern United States. It prefers to grow in shady, wet woodlands and similar habitats.

Carex deweyana Dewey's sedge, short-scale sedge, is a species of sedge native to Canada and the United States.

Carex davisii, known as Davis' sedge or awned graceful sedge, is a species of Carex native to North America. It is listed as an endangered, threatened, or species of concern across much of edge of its range. It was named in the 1820s by Lewis David de Schweinitz and John Torrey in honor of Emerson Davis (1798–1866), a Massachusetts educator and "enthusiastic student of the genus" Carex.

Carex scabrata, the eastern rough sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cyperaceae. It is native to eastern Canada and the eastern United States (but in the southeast it is confined to the Appalachians), with one collection each in the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. A perennial reaching 90 cm (3 ft), it is found it wet areas with rich soils, particularly on seepage slopes.

Veronica americana, variously called American brooklime or American speedwell, is a flowering plant native to temperate and arctic Asia and North America where it grows in streams and bottomlands. It is a herbaceous perennial with glabrous stems 10–100 cm (4–40 in) long that bear terminal or axillary racemes or spikes of soft violet flowers. The leaves are 1.5–8 cm (0.6–3.1 in) long and 3 to 20 times as long as wide, short-petiolate, glabrous, serrate to almost entire. The plant can be confused with Scutellaria (skullcap) and other members of the mint family. Members of the mint family have

Monotropsis is a small genus of just two flowering plants in the family Ericaceae, Monotropsis odorata and Monotropsis reynoldsiae. They are native to the southeastern United States. Like all members of the subfamily called the monotropes, the species in Monotropsis do not contain chlorophyll. They are myco-heterotrophs, getting its food through parasitism upon fungi rather than photosynthesis. These fungi form a mycorrhiza with nearby tree species.

Chrysosplenium americanum, the American golden saxifrage, is a species of golden saxifrage native to eastern North America.

Helenium pinnatifidum is a North American perennial plant in the sunflower family, commonly known as southeastern sneezeweed or savanna sneezeweed. It is found in the southeaster United States (Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas). Helenium pinnatifidum is a perennial herb up to 80 cm (31.5 in) tall, with small wings running down the sides of the stems. Leaves are pinnatifid, meaning deeply divided into many small parts. One plant generally produces only 1-3 hemispherical flower heads, about 2 cm (1 in) across. Each head can have 800 or more minuscule disc flowers 4.0–5.5 mm
