These photos are from two specimens: the first was found in my yard while the second was found in the woods a short distance from my home at the top of a small rocky cliff.
This plant was found on the side of a rocky road, which was itself in proximity to the river bank.
The tubular structures were initially thought to be some type of modified leaf, but were later identifierd as being the flower receptacle, potentially containing the ovary(ies)
Style and stigma in a distinctive structure with what looks like 4 stigmatic surfaces connate at the base but curling away from each other
Basal leaves, lanceolate, slight pubescence on abaxial surface.
