So here I am trying to figure out if I have the seeds of Osmorhiza longistylis or claytonii (I think it's the former but didn't see it in flower), when I stumble across this database:

www.florabymax.net/FLORAbyMAX/FamilyList.htm

Lots of pictures and useful descrptions of plant familes!

Anyhow, the leaves of the Osmorhiza were more finely dissected than I was expecting though it had the familiar anise scent. Still not sure. Seeds weresimilar to Myhrris odorata but barbed.

Garden is a clearing in the woods grading from shallow, rocky soil supporting a maple bush to a pine forest planted on sandy soil and a clay bottomland with spruce and tamarack.
