What

Sweet Pinesap (Monotropsis odorata)

Date

October 22, 2014

Description

I know that sweet pinesap is a spring flowering species. I saw this one in fall in east Tennessee near Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Time of year was wrong but habitat seemed appropriate. Dry exposed area dominated by oak and pine trees with understory plants like mountain laurel, greenbriers, sassafras, and Vaccinium spp. Anyone else have any ideas as to what this is.
