  • Question

    Hello, I'm wondering if this is Mirianthemum trifollium? I discovered it while exploring a disturbed bog (powerlines, all-terrain vehicle paths) in southwestern, Nova Scotia. Thank you.

    Answer

    Danielle88, yes, your plant is Maianthemum trifolium (three-leaved false Solomon's-seal). It is a characteristic plant of peatlands and swamps with an organic soil horizon. Best wishes.
