Here is an entire Spotted Coralroot plant. It's only a few inches tall.
Notice there are no leaves - or rather, more correctly, there is a single leaf sheathing the stem.
PLEASE NOTE: A coloured Province or State means this species occurs somewhere in that Province/State.
The entire Province/State is coloured, regardless of where in that Province/State it occurs.
