    Looking for confirmation or correction. Is this Lysimachia ciliata L. (fringed yellow-loosestrife)? Found in a wetland in the Town of Ticondergoa, NY. Thanks!

    Answer

    Dear MFD09, you have photographed Lysimachia ciliata, as you suspected. Beautiful image. This is a somewhat common species, usually found in wetlands and along shorelines. There are species closely allied to this one, but they are much less common.
