Question
I can’t identify this plant. Woody area. Central Maine
Answer
Dear allagash, you have photographed Polygaloides paucifolia (fringed false milkwort), a species formerly known by the name Polygala paucifolia (if you try to look it up in a wildflower book, it will be under the latter name in all likelihood). It is an infrequent (but not rare) native herb in the Maine. Best wishes.
