The mystery plant for July
is a newly discovered species in RI.
First found in June of 2016 in West Greenwich as a very small population,
it has increased in size since then.
This plant is a perennial
with alternate, divided leaves and
grows about 2-3 feet tall.
The delicate, 5-petalled, white flowers
are held on single stems in
large compound umbels.
The upper leaves are sheathed.
This plant blooms from June to July and
is found in dry woods and clearings.
It is rare in Massachusetts, Connecticut
and Rhode Island.
Stop back next month to find out
what this mystery plant is.
