  • Question

    Found 6 of these plants growing around a large stand of black huckleberry shrubs at the edge of a woodland of mixed hardwood trees on my property in Dover, NH. Thanks for your help.

    Answer

    Dear dLuxe55, you've photographed Chimaphila maculata (spotted prince's-pine), the white pattern on the leaves is diagnostic. This is a native member of the heath family.
