 (Gray), has been collected at Burlington by S. W. Conrad. 



Curious little jointed bulblets grow out from the axils of the 

 leaves in late summer producing an appearance quite different

 condition were mistaken by Linnaeus for a terrestrial Mistletoe, 

 which accounts for the plant being originally described in the 

 genus Visciim.
