    Growing at the edge of a stream in the alpine tundra of Mount Washington, June 20, 2013. Is it Veratrum?

    Answer

    Dear jfc, yes, this is Veratrum viride. It is not uncommon in wet, protected environments, such as seeps and rivulets in high-elevate gullies or low areas on the plateaus. Best wishes.
