Question
Hello Dear Botonist, I am wondering if it is possible to tell what this plant is, or set me in some sort of direction to find out. It is growing on a river bank in the lake's region of N.H. Thank you so much! SueLB
Answer
Dear SueLB, good morning. You have photographed Mitchella repens (partridge-berry), a native plant in the madder family. The opposite, evergreen leaves with a light-colored central vein and plant that trails over the ground are good characters to identify this species.
