    Plant with white flowers and opposite, toothed leaves growing in seasonally flooded wetlands in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Is it Chelone glabra?

    Answer

    Dear jfc, yes, it looks like a good match for Chelone glabra. This species is the only native member of its genus in New England. It likes wetlands and shorelines as it typical habitat.
