    Hi Everyone,

    Can anyone identify these 4 species? The pictures were taken on Burnaby Mountain.

    Picture 1: Could this be a young red alder (alnus rubra)?
    Picture 2: Are these white/translucent stringy things from some kind of moss? There are little brown balls at the end of the white strings.
    Picture 3: Unknown plant.
    Picture 4: Could this be Oak fern (gymnocarpium dryopteris) or Western oak fern (gymnocarpium disjunctum) ?

    Thank you very much,

    Jason

    #1 certainly looks like an alder seedling; which species of Alnus, I can't tell.

    #3 is a dock, likely Broad-leaved Dock Rumex obtusifolius.

    That was my first thought too, but something didn't seem completely right for it, so I left it unanswered in my first posting.
