Pyrola chlorantha Sw.[FNA8, HC, HC2]
green-flower wintergreen
Publication: Kongl. Svenska Vetensk. Akad. Nya Handl. 31: 190, plate 5. 1810.
Origin: Native
Herbarium search: CPNWH
Notes: FNA8: "E. Haber (1993) interpreted some herbarium specimens with intermediate morphologies and abnormal pollen as putative hybrids between Pyrola chlorantha and P. minor, and between P. chlorantha and P. picta. Leafless forms of P. chlorantha can be distinguished reliably from those of P. picta by the size and shape of the calyx lobes."
