Pipsissewa


Pipsissewa.
Spotted or Striped Wintergreen, Chimaphila maculata--one of several plants commonly called "Pipsissewa." This plant of dry, acidic soils may reach its densest distribution in the Carolina Piedmont, but also is found in the Coastal Plain and mountain regions. It grows in heavy shade beneath both hardwoods and pines.
