Question
Hello, I found this herbaceous plant in a deciduous upland forest in Southeastern (dominated by oak). The plant was approximately 12" in height. The leaf was pinnately lobed. No flower/inflorescence was present May-early June. Thanks!
Answer
Dear eehrlich, your message notes you found this is "Southeastern", but no state or province is noted. Therefore, please understand this answer is contingent on the plant growing in the northeast. It is a species of Nabalus, likely N. trifoliolatus (three-leaved rattlesnake-root). This is a native species found in a wide variety of habitats.
