Question
Here's a photo of a plant I discovered in amongst the rocks at the shore of Trout Pond in Lyme, NH. Looks like it will be blooming shortly. It has this unique what I think would be called bipinnate leaf structure. Is there enough in this photo to identify either the genus or species?
Answer
Dear gdewolf, you've photographed Aralia hispida (bristly sarsaparilla), a native plant of (usually) open and somewhat drier habitats. If you examine images on the web of this species, you can confirm the identification. Best wishes.
