mayapple

Podophyllum peltatum

Mayapple is a fun plant that grows in shady forests. It has big, umbrella-like leaves and produces a yellow fruit that looks like a little apple. But be careful, not all parts of the plant are safe to eat!

生息地: Forests

外見

The mayapple has large, deeply lobed leaves that often look like tiny green umbrellas, usually two per flowering stem. A single white or pale yellow flower is tucked underneath these distinctive leaves, later developing into a small, lemon-yellow fruit.

おもしろい事実

Indigenous peoples traditionally used mayapple for various medicinal purposes, especially its roots.

Its name comes from the apple-like fruit that ripens in late spring or early summer!

Mayapple leaves emerge rolled up like tiny cigars before unfurling into their signature umbrella shape.

Though most parts are toxic, some animals like box turtles safely enjoy the ripe, yellow fruits.
