Ophioglossum
Underground stem globose, nearly spherical, 3-11 mm in diameter; fertile spikes commonly with a conspicuous, acute or attenuate sterile portion (apiculum) at its apex; sterile blade 1-4 cm long, 0.5-2.5 cm wide, borne horizontally near the ground

Liatris
Heads loosely arranged, on internodes 6-15 (-20) mm long, not secund; phyllary apex sharply acute to obtuse-angled with a thickened apiculum, not markedly involute, lamina relatively thick, usually with evidently sunken punctate glands, without superficial glands; florets 7-10 (-12); basal and lower cauline leaves 4-9 (-12) mm wide, quickly reduced in width and length distally

Liriodendron
Fruiting axis ("lance") (42-) avg. 44-53 (-60) mm long (see below); stamen apex rounded, truncate, or retuse; tree never producing pneumatophores; mature leaves of fertile branches small to large (see below), 0-8-lobed, the terminal lobes (acute to acuminate, and often terminating in an apiculum, the base cordate to broadly cuneate; [collectively widespread].
