the_buckeye_botanistDescripción
Undoubtedly the largest population in Ohio for this state endangered species. It has disappeared in most places over the last few decades. This site has several large patches with thousands of stems and flowers prolifically based on the number of fruit stalks. An exciting rediscovery after almost all other NW Ohio populations were MIA following surveys.

the_buckeye_botanistDescripción
To my knowledge the last time this species was observed in Ohio. One vegetative plant seen at the known site back in 2015. Annual monitoring in subsequent years have produced zilch. Population has not produced a flowering plant in well over a decade.
Note the grape green fleshy stem compared to I. verticillata’s purple-tinged stem. Also shown next to a stem of Medeola virginiana for comparison, of which there was tons in association.
