Question
Hello! I found this plant in a Black Ash Swamp today (May 30) in Hanover, Grafton County, NH. It has no basal or other leaves. Using your guide, I believe it may be an early coral-root. Would you agree, or have other thoughts? Thanks for the help!
Answer
Dear kasmus.nh, yes, this plant fits well with Corallorhiza trifda. This species is frequent in swamps (and other locations, like seeps and streamsides where hydric soils are present for at least part of the year). Beautiful image.
