Umbrella leaf is native to southeastern North America.
Identification: This perennial plant reaches up to 2′ (70 cm)
× 12″ (30 cm). On stems that do not flower, there is a single large umbrella-like leaf 1-2′ (30-60 cm) across.
Flowering stems have two smaller leaves, divided into two symmetrical lobes, with very coarse teeth. Flowers bloom from May to June,
appearing in rounded flowerheads about 3-6″ (7.6-15 cm) around, elevated well above the leaves. Individual flowers are white, with 6 petals.
Fruits are another distinctive feature of this plant, thrust up above the leaves in clusters of powder blue
grape-shaped berries on bright red stems.
