Summary[edit] Description: Devil's club (Oplopanax horridus) leaves turn yellow in the fall in a muskeg near Petersburg, AK. Muskegs, a colloquial term for peat bogs, blanket 10% of the Tongass National Forest. These wetlands range in size from a few square feet to many acres. Over the ages, muskegs formed as Sphagnum mosses, rushes and sedges grew and built up spongy carpets in these very wet, almost treeless areas. Photo by Karen Dillman. Date: 22 September 2012, 18:02.

Description: A common plant of the interior wetbelt, devil’s club is named for the many spines found along the stems and underside of the leaves. Getting these spines in your skin can cause irritation or even allergic reaction. The large leaves trap as much light as possible, an important asset in the shady forest understory. White flowers bloom in the last two weeks in June with clumps of bright red berries appearing later in the summer. Date: 26 August 2007, 10:25. Source: Devil's Club Uploaded by Vux.
