Thalictrum revolutum DC. var. glandulosior B. Boivin
Thalictrum revolutum DC. Waxy-leaf meadow-rue, purple meadowrue, skunk meadowrue, waxy meadowrue
Waxy-leaved meadow-rue is a North American native plant. Identification: Plants are 3-7' (91-213 cm) tall. Leaves are alternate, and ternately compound: each "leaf" is split into three smaller leaves, and each of those is further divided into three leaflets. Leaflets are 1-1½" (2.5-3.8 cm) × ½-¾" (1.3-1.9 cm), usually leathery, with rounded bases and 1-3 rounded lobes. Leaf tips are more pointed in unlobed leaflets. Leaf undersides and stems are coated with a waxy-looking material that makes them look very light-colored, leaflets almost white. Flowers are white, in multiple racemes or panicles. Fruits are ⅛-³/₁₆" (3.5-5 mm). Plants smell pungent (one common name is skunk meadowrue), especially after a rain. Online References:
