Rattlesnake Plantains Orchid
Goodyera pubescens
Rattlesnake plantains get their name from their broad, rounded leaves, which are similar in shape to those of plantain, a common lawn weed. They are not actually plantains; they are orchids. Downy rattlesnake-plantain is the most common species in New England. It is distinguished from other rattlesnake-plantains by the bright silver markings on the leaves with a broad stripe down the center of the leaves.
Flowers green-white, small. Flowers arranged in a tightly packed terminal spike. Stem woolly, with a few scalelike bracts. Leaves ovate-elongate, located near the base of the plant. Leaf dark green, reticulated and checkered with a pattern of white lines. Plant 6 to 16 inches in height.
Distribution: Southeastern Canada and the northeastern United States, southward to Florida and Oklahoma.
