Jack-in-the-Pulpit
- Arisaema triphyllum
A member of the Arum
family, this species can change its gender based upon environmental
conditions. An unusual flower
blooms in mid-Spring. The seed pod is often found late in fall
and even into winter, unless they are eaten first. The plant
has long since withered and, unable to support the weight of
the seeds, has dropped them to the forest floor.
