Bishop's Cap (
Mitella diphylla) is found more in the northeast half of Iowa growing on cool north slopes in shady organic soils. But this one was found today at Ledges State Park. The leaves very with lobes and are toothed with a most interesting "opposite connected" leaves in the middle of the main flower stem. Although sometimes there can be another leaf above these. Bishop's cap can have five to twenty tiny white flowers that look like "caps" each individual flower has seldom more than quarter inch has five petals.
