Question
Identified as Fen Grass of Parnassus by Picture This. Location of plant is Bethesda, MD, a suburban city of the DC Metro area. I uncovered it today as I was clearing our backyard woodlands area. We backup to parkland. What is it doing here do you think?
Answer
Dear Riderr, good morning. I'm not certain who the plant is (it may be a Hosta seedling), but we can be certain it is not Parnassia glauca. That species has very specific habitat requirements (which are not forests and woodlands) and has a different vegetative morphology. I hope this is helpful.
