  Thank you for your reply! A friend is fortunate to have a small patch under her old growth trees. I thought I saw a few tiny bits in another part of her yard. In Susan's post about lycopodium could those be the small shiny leaves at the base of the main plant?

  Answer

  Dear rgallica, good morning. The leaves in the picture your reference belong to Mitchella repens (partridgeberry). This member of the Rubiaceae has opposite leaves distributed along a trailing stem and a light-colored midvein only. Best wishes.
