Question
Roque Bluffs, Washington Co. Maine. Tiny 5 part blossoms less than 2mm. Thin grass-like stem. Plants, 10" - 16" aprox. high. Leaves about an inch or less long, narrow; cauline, not many. Not toothed, have midrib. Frail inconspicuous plant growing in sandy roadside, wet boggy area. I was brushing it out of the way to take Hypericum (H.canadense?) photo and didn't realize it wasn't a grass stem. Round-leaved sundew and Rose Pogonia on other side of road.
Answer
Carol, I can't see enough of this plant to be certain, but you should check images of Linaria canadensis (synonym: Nuttallanthus canadensis), oldfield toadflax. It is a common species in Maine.
