Question
Hi! I tried keying out this plant in a swampy area in the Amesbury Town Forest. Can you help? Chaffee Monell
Answer
Dear chaffeemonell, your plant is a small Thalictrum pubescens (tall meadow-rue), a native member of the crowfoot family. You've photographed a staminate plant (i.e., one with pollen-bearing flowers).
