Pin Oak (Quercus palustris)
Pin oak, a tree that can reach 30m in height, is a monoecious tree. Its male catkins are hairy and 5-10cm, female flowers have wooly hairs and red stigmas. Its acorns are 1-2.5cm wide. The acorn cap is saucer-shaped with very small scales that are covered with tiny hairs, it covers 1/4-1/3 of the nut, which is 10-14mm wide.
Chinquapin Oak (Quercus muehlenbergii)
Chiquapin oak, a tree that can reach 30m+ in height, is monoecious and wind pollinated. The male flowers are borne in catkins that develop from the leaf axils of the previous years, the female flowers develop from the axils of the current year's leaves.
Grassleaf Rush (Juncus marginatus) - Wisconsin

Oak Woodland - Wisconsin
It tends to be dominated by members of white oak group, especially white oak, sometimes with bur oak, and locally in southwestern Wisconsin, chinquapin oak.
