Question
Hello, Found this on the margin of land between the trail and a brook in Lincoln, RI. Looks remarkably like a plant we drove 40 miles to the Ben Utter Trail in Exeter, RI to see earlier this spring. Is this Indian cucumber-root (Medeola virginiana)? Thanks.
Answer
Dear sldz22, good morning. Yes, you have photographed Indian cucumber-root (Medeola virginiana), a native member of the Lily Family. The reproductive plants will produce a second tier of reduced leaves that are associated with the flowers/fruits.
