Coptis trifolia, Three-Leaved Goldthread
0 comments / 0 votes

Coptis trifolia (L.) Salisb. is a small herbaceous plant occurring in sunny spots along the wooded trail near my home.  The flowers are white with club-shaped yellowish petals that produce nectar at the tip (cool…huh?).  The name goldthread refers to the golden colored rhizome.  It is in the Ranunculaceae family.
