Uvularia sessilifolia L. Sessile bellwort, wild oats, sessile-leaved bellwort
This native of eastern North America is found in woodlands. The common name is sessile, meaning "leaves are attached directly to the stem," and bellwort, roughly meaning "plant with a bell-shaped flower." (Wort simply means plant.) Identification: Plants are 6-13" (15-33 cm) high. Leaves are narrow, about 1-3" (2.5-7.6 cm) long, atop a thin reddish stem that forks in the middle. Flowers are 1" (2.5 cm) long and ¼" (8.3 mm) around, hanging downward, cream-colored or yellowish. Online References:
