Question
Hello, this plant is located in the Merrill Whipple Preserve in Coventry RI 02893. I've been unable to identify it with searches in several native plant books and plant identifying sites on the computer. it has a light airy look about it. It is growing very close to a tree. I appreciate your assistance. Thank You, joyce
Answer
Dear jpelletier, you have photographed Thalictrum pubescens (tall meadow-rue), a native member of the crowfoot family. This is a common species of shorelines, forest seeps, and wetlands.
