Southeastern, New Hampshire

This was an unexpected encounter. After several years of walking along trails, I have
only seen a Shinleaf one other time. It was right at the edge of the trail in a fairly
dry location amongst American Beech trees. Key:
- Style elongate and strongly down-curved.
- Leaf blades 25-70 mm long.
- Leaf blades broad-elliptic to reniform usually +- equaling the length of the petiole.
- Petals white (not pink).
