Question
This volunteer has been widespread in my dry Lexington MA yard for many years, particularly in sunny areas. It seems to be some kind of Lysimachia (quadrifolia or quadriflora?) Can you confirm?
Answer
Dear bkatzenberg, good morning. Your plant is most likely Lysimachia quadrifolia. This is a relatively common species that is most often found in dry soils. Lysimachia quadriflora is a very rare species that is found in wetter soils. It also has much narrower leaves. Best wishes.
