Question
Found this in Kenduskeag Maine. Gravel/soil, on a hillside. Was covered in thick leaves. Sunny in spring. But total shade throughout summer and fall. Not damp, for the most part. Surrounding plants are mostly birches and ash? I think. No ground cover plants to speak of.
Answer
Dear Jaredpaschal, the plant you have posted a picture of may be Arisaema triphyllum (Jack-in-the-pulpit). It is a very early shoot and if I could see this plant after the leaves begin to expand I would be able to help you with more confidence. If you have the opportunity to post a later image here or send one to ahaines@newenglandwild.org, feel free to do so. Best wishes.
