Question
Hi, I saw this wildflower growing near the treeline on Mt. Monadnock in Jaffrey NH on October 14. What do you think it was?
Answer
BrooklineBiker, there are a couple different plants in the images, the one that is prominent is Oclemena acuminata (sharp-toothed nodding-aster). This is a common species in many parts of New England, especially where there are forests, especially those with a northern and/or evergreen component.
