Early Meadow Rue - Thalictrum dioicum

This plant was just popping up through the leaf litter! At maturity, it will have clusters of long-stemmed, drooping, greenish-white flowers atop leafy stems, which I almost always miss!

The species name is derived from the Greek word meaning "two households", which alludes to the fact that the male and female flowers are on separate plants.

Habitat: Wet forest
