I think the host was Ilex mucronata but could have been some other alternate-leaved wetland shrub - it was quite dead

natemartineauDescription
Less than a week after the first state record found by @alexgraeff. All awns <5mm; fruiting stage less advanced than sympatric E. virginicus; lower leaves short & senescing early; upper leaves erect or at least not spreading or drooping. Widely and sparsely scattered within 20 meters of river. Last photo is a comparison with E. virginicus (E. curvatus on right).
Collected. These coordinates were taken from my phone in the field.

The purple samaras are odd to me. Is this a common trait that I have overlooked? This tree growing on the edge of a wooded road near Lake Superior

On Thuja in mature, shady, mixed swamp
Habitat, size, color suggest this over F. asagrayana, though unfortunately no bracts to examine to be certain of that differentiation

natemartineauDescription
Reaaalllly interesting occurrence on lower portion of dry sandstone bluff over Sturgeon River, only in spots where a loose accumulation of sand had formed from upslope erosion. Much better argument for nativity here than the other Michigan collection.
