Circaea canadensis

Circaea canadensis, commonly called eastern enchanter's nightshade, is a perennial herb found in forests of eastern North America.[1][2][3] It is very similar to its sister species, the broad-leaved enchanter's nightshade (Circaea lutetiana) and was formerly considered as conspecific.
