    Ground cover in a clearing in Lincoln, Massachusetts, near houses.

    Answer

    Dear jfc, good morning. The plant you have photographed is Aegopodium podograria (bishop's goutweed), a non-native member of the Apiaceae. Some populations show maculate leaves, while others are completely green as in your images. Best wishes.
