Question
I'm seeing this plant at Quincy Bog in Rumney, NH in a Beech & Maple forest beneath Witch Hazel. My sense is that these are the recently emerged leafs of what will ultimately become a more fully formed Tall Rattlesnake Root (Nabalus altissimus) plant. Could it be something else?
Answer
dear gdewolf, I agree, it definitely looks like a species of Nabalus (rattlesnake root), and Nabalus latissimus is a good hypothesis. Best wishes.
