    I'm doing a project on coast redwood communities in Santa Cruz County, CA, but am having difficulty identifying a few of the plants I observed out in the field. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    # 1 The leaves remind me of Veratrum viride

    I think #1 is probably not Veratrum given the habitat, but likely something similar.

    Petioles look reddish and opposite on #3, likely a young Acer.

    *snap* Held back from suggesting Orchidaceae for the first, but yes, Epipactis is a likely culprit.
