Question
mixed woods edge of wetland, York cnty Maine, interested if you might know just from leaf, I was intrigued by the parallel veins.. in orchid family? hope to return later to see what it turns into?
Answer
Dear P.Smith-80, hello to you. I'm not certain of who you have photographed, but it may be a very depauperate Veratrum viride (Amercan false hellebore). It is a species with the pleated leaves shown in your photograph. Perhaps there are larger individuals in the area that you can find to learn the identity of this plant. Best wishes.
