Question
Hello! I wonder if you have any suggestions as to what this could be. It's low-growing (I think only basal leaves are present) and spreads vigorously, it's bright green and appears in October and is cheerful and robust through springtime, when the bayberry it lives under leafs out. I've observed it for two years and have not identified a flower or seed. It's in a sunny dry location in Providence, RI. Bayberry leaves for scale. I'd like to know if it's native or at least benign!
Answer
Dear conormac, I can't help you with confidence with this plant. There are several species these small, winter-green basal leaves could below to. Given the setting, you might consider looking into various species of Geranium that this might be. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.
