Bishop's cap Description:
Mitella diphylla, commonly known as two-leaved miterwort or Bishop's cap, is a small, herbaceous perennial plant native to the woodlands of eastern North America. It belongs to the Saxifrage family (Saxifragaceae) and grows up to 10-18 inches tall.
The plant features a basal rosette of toothed, kidney-shaped leaves with palmate venation that grow up to 4 inches (10 cm) wide. The stem is slender, erect, and bears a small cluster of tiny, white to pinkish flowers in late spring to early summer, with each flower measuring about 1/8 inch (3 mm) in diameter. The flowers have five petals and are held above the leaves on a slender stalk.
Mitella diphylla prefers to grow in shaded or semi-shaded areas with moist soil, such as under trees or in the understory of a forest. The plant is commonly found in the eastern United States and Canada, ranging from Georgia and Alabama in the south, to Nova Scotia in the north, and as far west as Michigan and Minnesota. It is often used in native plant landscaping and is an attractive choice for rock gardens or woodland gardens.
