  • Question

    Can't find this plant in your listings. It may not be there since it is located in Idaho near Yellowstone. Woodland area. Do you know what it is? Picture taken in August. Thank you. Brice

    Answer

    Dear Brice, your plant looks like Maianthemum stellatum or a related species. The leaf blade outline and fruit outline are good matches for this species (and the dark fruits are possible in this species, who often produces red fruits). I would check with that species and see how well you feel it fits for your memory of this species in the field.
