Pipsissewa

Pipsissewa is a native evergreen low shrub or perennial rhizomatous
herb. The woody stems are usually 4 to 12 inches (10-30 cm) tall and
the leathery, whorled leaves are sharply serrate. The fertile stems are
generally erect and may have 2 to 15 flowers. Fruits are depressed,
globose capsules which often persist through the winter.

Across its range, Pipsissewa exhibits wide variation in size; in leaf
blade length, number of teeth, and prominence of lower surface venation;
in sepal shape; and in stigma and capsule size.
