Hello, Thanks for your help idenifying the Nabalus I sent in. I'm curious if this leaf is also from a Nabalus (found in the woods in Providence, RI). Also, I was wondering if you could help idenity this odd-looking plant found in the woods in Lincoln, RI Thanks so much.
Answer
Dear sldz22, good morning. The leaf you have posted is also from a Nabalus. If there are enough in the population, remember you can tear a small portion and you will see white latex exude from the wound. The odd-looking plant is called Conopholis americana (American bear-corn). It is a parasitic plant in the Orobanchaceae. Best wishes.
