Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't found any Polygonum that match the
plant I found. I did learn that some Ludwigia species have
alternate leaves, although I didn't find any photos that were a perfect
match.
I also think that the Proserpinaca I found may be Proserpinaca pectinata,
not P. palustris.
