  • Question

    I have not been able to identify this plant. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I will upload some photos. I found it in Tyler State Park in Newtown, Pennsylvania in a woodland borderland. The flower has five petals, the leaves are alternated. It is very rare in this neck of the woods. Candido

    Answer

    Dear candido, I don't know which species you have with certainty, as you are south of my range of expertise. However, you appear to have a species with an over-arching, petaloid sepal similar to species of Aconitum (or a member of that complex of genera). Sorry I can't help you further with this question.
