    Please identify this plant found in the woods in eastern Virginia

    Answer

    Dear Pointbreeze, the plant in the photograph is Podophyllum peltatum (may-apple), a native member of the barberry family. The circular, lobed leaves with the petioles attached to the center are good diagnostic traits.
