    Is this Japanese pachysandra (Pachysandra terminalis)? This picture was taken along Market St. in Warren, RI.

    Answer

    Dear aduryea, good morning. You have photographed a species of mountain-spurge (pachysandra), but I can't tell you with confidence which species without flowers/fruits. Perhaps you can try to acquire images of the reproductive stems when/if they flower. Best wishes.
