    After all these years, I decided I should learn the names of some of the plants I see all the time. This group I think I have identified, would just like to have corrections where I got it wrong. I saw them all yesterday in a walk along Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park, Vancouver. Comments about status are from the http://ibis.geog.ubc.ca/biodiversity/eflora/site.

    Arctium minus, common burdock, listed as Exotic.

    Epilobium ciliatum. This was posted for ID recently, else I'd have assumed it was a different species I found in a book.

    Geum aleppicum, common avens. This one is native in BC, though more east of the Cascades. Edited, see below, Geum macrophyllum.

    Impatiens parviflora. I replied to a posting two years ago with a photo from the east path of Byrne Creek Ravine Park near the Welcome board at the south end. I'm pretty sure I saw it along the path north from Edmonds Skytrain Station shortly after that. It's listed only as Exotic, not of concern.

    Lactuca muralis. Listed as Exotic. I see a lot of this.

    Geum macrophyllum for the avens maybe.

    Thank, Eric. I took some more photos today. Was it the more rounded leaves below the end one? Or the larger leaves? Or less likely to find G. aleppicum here?
