Figure 11.2 – Some common mid-spring Ozark wildflowers, illustrated clockwise from the upper left: (a) blue phlox, (b) bellwort, (c) cut-leaf blue violet, (d) bird’s foot violet, (e) Jack- in-the-pulpit, and (f) toad shade trillium.
Figure 10.3 – American ginseng showing foliage and berries (a), root that appears almost human because of arms and legs projecting from the trunk (b), and flowers (c).
Figure 8.3 – Under most flow conditions streams do not carry enough flow to push their bed load of gravel downstream, and pulses of gravel accumulation form sequences of riffles (a) and
pools (b). Note that Ozark drainage systems are actively cutting into the Ozark uplift today so that bedrock (c) is never far below the base of stream channels and is often exposed in the beds
of small rivers like the Merrimack and Buffalo.
