I've often seen a plant which strongly resembles wild ginger, but the leaves are longer and more pointed, grows profusely but not as closely as wild ginger, and--until this spring--I could not find the basal flowers. This spring I found one plant with three maroon capsules at it's base. Looking around, I could find no others with this. In tha past, I thought this was just a look-alike, but now wondering if there is a related species or variety with this growth habit. I grow the canadense version in my garden, so can compare.

Any thoughts?
