Question
In the woods in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The closest match I found in the simple key is Cardamine diphylla but my plant is taller.
Answer
jfc, your plant is a Genum (avens), and looks like Geum canadense (white avens), a relatively common species of the genus in the northeast. The short, white petals about as long as the sepals, minutely hairy flower stalks, and relatively few ovaries per flower are ways to identify this species.
