Mitella Linnaeus. Common name: Miterwort.

Key to Mitella

As recently more narrowly circumscribed for monophyly by removal of disparate elements, a genus of 2-3 species, perennial herbs, of n. North America and n. Asia. Soltis (2007), Okuyama, Pellmyr, & Kato (2008), and Folk & Freudenstein (2014) indicate that Mitella s.l. is polyphyletic and requires division; our species remain in a narrowly circumscribed Mitella of 2-3 species.
