Question
I think I see this plant frequently in the spring in moist places. Maybe it grows up into something that I could identify. I'll upload some pictures from today in Hebron, CT. Thanks!
Answer
Dear davidreik@comcast.net, you have photographed the basal leaves of a species of Nabalus (rattlesnake-root), native members of the sunflower family that were once placed in the genus Prenanthes. These will flower later in the growing season and have small flower heads (relative to species like American-asters and sunflowers). Best wishes.
