They resemble alligator weed, which we have in other parts of the park, but are not the same.
We thought we would wait for them to flower, before sending in photos for ID, but they seemed to never flower.
Finally Angie noticed a very small, white flower about 4 or 6 inches down the stem from the top on some of the plants.
The plants are usually about 1 to 2 feet tall, sometimes 2.5 feet.
The mature leaves are 3 to 4 inches long.
Doesn't seem like much eats these plants.
Maybe they are not native.
I will attach several notes in series to show several photos that may help with the ID.
