Question
I found this plant in a powerline corridor near Merrymeeting Bay in Maine. I couldn't find anything resembling it in the Simple Key.
Answer
Dear Malvaviscus, your plant is Nabalus trifoliolatus (three-leaved rattlesnake-root). This species is a native, perennial herb found in a wide variety of habitats in Maine. The flower heads are comprised of individual ray flowers (similar to dandelion, but of a different color and fewer of them).
