    Good afternoon! Could you please help with this plant. Growing singly, Only basal leaves, deciduous forest on Storrs, CT. Hairy stems.

    Answer

    Dear KDC, you have photographed what appears to be a species of Nabalus. I would not be able to tell you which species without flowers or fruits, though Nabalus altissimus (synonym: Prenanthes altissima), tall rattlesnake-root, is a likely candidate.
