Another correction: Sweet Indian plantain "is" present in the savanna

I've been going back and forth about whether I have sweet Indian plantain (Hasteola suaveolens), a wetland plant, in our savanna. My earlier post had a misidentified photo. It was Lion's foot instead of Hasteola. The milky sap was the deciding factor.

The photo below is definitely Hasteola (no milky sap, characteristic hastate leaves), and it was taken in our bur oak savanna, a long way from any wetland. This is the second savanna location that I have found Hasteola.
