Description

Chimaphila maculata, Spotted Wintergreen, Pipsissewa, Wholesale Native Bare Root Perennials
Striped Prince’s Pine, , Spotted Pipsissewa, Ratsbane, Rheumatism Root, Striped Wintergreen
Pyrolaceae (Shinleaf Family)
Synonym(s): Chimaphila maculata var. dasystemma
USDA Symbol: chma3
USDA Native Status: L48 (N), CAN (N)
Nodding, fragrant, waxy, white or pinkish flowers are in small clusters at the top of a stem with whorled, evergreen leaves, mottled with white.

This is a conspicuous plant in both winter and summer because of its white and green mottled leaves. It appears to increase both vegetatively and by seedling reproduction following light wildfires. A slightly taller relative, Pipsissewa (C. umbellata), has shiny, dark green leaves that lack the mottling. The genus name is from the Greek cheima (“winter”) and philein (“to love”).

Many authorities show this genus to now belong in the Ericaceae family.
