Mitella nuda
Also called Naked Bishop's Cap, Bare Stemmed Bishop's Cap, Naked Mitrewort, Bare Stemmed Mitrewort, Common Mitrewort, Common Bishop's Cap
Mitella nuda, the naked bishop's cap or naked miterwort, is a species of flowering plant in the family Saxifragaceae. It is a perennial or rhizomatous geophyte native to temperate and subarctic regions of northern North America and northeastern Asia, ranging across Canada and the northern United States, and from Western Siberia through Mongolia and northern China to Korea, Japan, and the Russian Far East.
It has a single leaf, serrate but not deeply lobed, rising in single stalks from the ground. The leaf color is light green. Tiny white hairs arise perpendicular to the leaf surface. These are especially large and noticeable on the leaf top, but occur on the bottom also. The naked bishop's cap provides low ground cover and grows to be 0.25 to 1.5 inches (6.3 to 38 mm) tall, not counting inflorescence.
