Family - Brassicaceae Stems - To +60cm long(tall), erect to ascending or creeping, from taproot and fibrous roots (often rooting at nodes), herbaceous, glabrous, fistulose. Leaves - Alternate, odd-pinnate, petiolate, to +15cm long, glabrous. Petiole partially clasping the stem. Leaflets 3-11, opposite to subopposite, sessile, oblique at base, ovate-lanceolate, often emarginate at apex, to +2cm long, +1cm broad, entire to irregularly shallow crenate.
Inflorescence - Compact terminal racemes, quickly elongating in fruit to +20cm long. Pedicels glabrous, 2-7mm long in flower, elongating in fruit. Flowers - Petals 4, free, white, clawed, glabrous. Claw to 2mm long. Limb rounded at apex, 3mm long, 2mm broad. Stamens 6, with 4 long and 2 short. Shorter staens opposite and outside of longer stamens. Filaments purplish, glabrous, 3.5mm long. Anthers yellow. Ovary terete, purplish-green, 2.5mm long, glabrous. Style very short or wanting, persistent in fruit as beak. Stigma 2-lobed, capitate. Sepals 4, free, glabrous or with a few minute strigose hairs at apex, 3mm long, 1.2mm broad, often with revolute margins. Siliques to +1.5cm long, terete, glabrous, many-seeded.
Flowering - April - October. Habitat - In water and on wet ground. Origin - Native to Eurasia. Other info. - Nasturtium is a fairly common plant throughout the southern half of Missouri but is also found in a few counties north of the Missouri River. Another species, N. microphyllum (Boenn.) Reichb. is found in the U.S.(not yet in Missouri) and is native to Europe. This species has long slender fruits to +2.5cm.
N. officinaleis an edible plant and was used by Indians to cure many ailments. You should be sure the plant is growing in clean water or on clean soil before you harvest it for food. When growing in water the plant forms many roots from its nodes and forms large mats as shown above. On land, the plant is a bit more ragged and thin:

Family - Boraginaceae Stems - From a taproot and fibrous roots, multiple from the base, erect, herbaceous, green, hirsute, slightly angled from decurrent leaf tissue, to 50cm tall (in fruit), branching.
Leaves - Alternate. Basal leaves spatulate, to +/-6cm long, -2cm broad. Cauline leaves sessile, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, to 6cm long, 1.5cm broad. All leaves entire, hirsute, acute to rounded at the apex, green, with a single distinct midrib. Faint lateral venation anastomosing before the leaf margin. Inflorescence - Terminal and lateral scorpoid racemes or cymes, compact in flower, very elongated in fruit. Pedicels short in flower, elongating to 3-4mm long in fruit, lanate. Axis of inflorescence lanate.
Flowers - Corolla white, funnelform, glabrous, slightly zygomorphic, 3mm broad, 3mm long, 5-lobed. Longest lobes to 1.2mm long, 1mm broad, truncate at apex. Fornices small, included in the throat of the corolla. Stamens 5, adnate above the base of the corolla tube. Filaments minute, -.1mm long. Anthers brownish, .5mm long. Ovary 4-lobed, subtended by a green nectary. Lobes green, glabrous, lenticular, to .3mm in diameter, with a slightly winged margin, expanding to +2mm in diameter in fruit. Style exserted from between ovary lobes, green, .7mm long, glabrous, included. Stigma bilobed. Calyx accrescent, densely uncinate pubescent (hirsute) externally, glabrous internally, 5-lobed, zygomorphic. Lobes attenuate, the longest to 2mm in flower (longer in fruit). Calyx tube to 2mm long in flower, longer in fruit.
Flowering - April - May. Habitat - Fallow and cultivated fields, moist to dry woods, slopes, bottoms, roadsides, railroads. Origin - Native to U.S. Other info. - This species can be found throughout Missouri. The plant can be identified by its small white flowers, hirsute stems, and elongated inflorescences (in fruit). Steyermark listed this species as a variety of M. virginica (L.) BSP. More modern taxonomy lumps M. virginica and M. macrosperma into the same species, M. verna Nutt. Regardless of what you call the plant, its annoying fruits will stick to your clothes and hair and are a chore to remove.

Family - Fabaceae Stems - To +2m tall, herbaceous, erect, branching, typically single from base, glabrous or with a few sparse hairs.
Leaves - Alternate, trifoliolate, stipulate. Stipules linear-attenuate, 4-5mm long, -1mm broad, glabrous. Petioles to +/-1cm long, glabrous or with a few sparse hairs, with an adaxial groove. Petiolules to 2mm long on lateral leaflets and 5-6mm long on terminal leaflet. Leaflets subequal (the terminal slightly larger), oblong to oblong-oblanceolate, serrate-dentate, glabrous, to +/-3cm long, +/-1cm broad. Inflorescence - Axillary pedunculate racemes to +/-8cm long(tall) in flower, longer in fruit. Axis sparsely pubescent. Each pedicel subtended by a linear-attenuate bract to 1mm long. Pedicels to 1.1mm long, mostly glabrous.
Flowers - Corolla white, papilionaceous, glabrous. Standard to 4mm long. The keel petals apically connate. The wing petals basally adnate to the keels, with basal auricles to .5mm long. Stamens diadelphous, white, glabrous. Anthers yellow, .2mm long. Style glabrous, +/-2mm long. Ovary green, glabrous, 1.1mm long. Fruits to 4-5mm long, inflated, with a short beak, glabrous, green. Calyx weakly bilabiate. Calyx tube green, to 1mm long, sparsely pubescent to glabrous. The upper lip 2-lobed. Lobes triangular-acuminate, 1mm long. The lower lip 3-lobed. The lobes slightly larger to equaling those of the upper lip.Flowering - May - October.
Habitat - Disturbed sites, waste ground, roadsides, railroads. Origin - Native to Eurasia. Other info. - This plant is extremely common and is very invasive. It was and is used for fodder because if its protein content. The plant has an undesirable smell (at least to me) when crushed or cut. Many people have reported headaches after being exposed to the smell of the freshly cut plants for too long. Some people become noxious from the smell. Plants from the genus Melilotus contain coumarins, which are used to make rat poisons. This plant is very similar to M. officinalis but that species starts blooming a few weeks to a month earlier and has yellow flowers.
