An illustrated flora of the northern United States, Canada and the British possessions : from Newfoundland to the parallel of the southern boundary of Virginia and from the Atlantic Ocean westward to the 102nd meridian . ed2illustratedflo02brit Year: 1913 Gexls 13. I. Mitella diphylla L. Milclla dithylla L. Sp. PI. 406. SAXIFRAGE FAMILY. Two-leaved Bishop's Cap or Mitre-wort •75J- Scape 10-18' high, pubescent, bearing a pair of opposite nearly or quite sessile leaves near its middle. Basal leaves broadly ovate, cordate at the base, acute or acuminate at the apex, 3-5-lobed, dentate, scabrous and with scattered hairs on both sides, 1-2' long; leaves of the scape similar, usually smaller; spiciform raceme erect, 3'-8' long, the flowers distant; calyx-lobes and petals white; capsule flattish, broad, dehiscent above, the valves spreading. In rich woods, Quebec to Minnesota. North Carolina and Missouri. Ascends to 2600 ft. in \ irginia. A third leaf is rarely borne on the scape at the base of the in- florescence. Currant-leaf. False sanicle. Fringe- or faio-cup. April-May. Mitella oppositifolia native in central New York, and cultivated at South Hadley, Massachusetts, differs from M. diphylla in the long-petioled stem-leaves. the lanceolate calyx-lobes and the filiform divisions of the petals.
