Bishop's Cap
Mitella ovalis
1998
This is a plant of wet woodlands and deeply shaded banks. The pale color and deeply dissected petals suggest pollination by a night-flying moth. When seeds form, this diminutive cup will be filled with shiny black pearls. Mitella is Latin for a head band but I have never seen a bishop with such a one as this.
