Question
Found in Alton, NH Is this the small whorled pagonia? Isotria medeoloides
Answer
Dear mariapoulos, good morning. The plants you photographed are Isotria medeoloides (Indian cucumber root). This is a native member of the lily family. It has two tiers of leaves on reproductive plants (only 1 tier of leaves in the orchid) and the stems have white hairs on them (stems without any hairs in the orchid). I hope this is helpful.
