Pyrola minor, known by the common names snowline wintergreen,[2] lesser wintergreen, and common wintergreen, is a plant species of the genus Pyrola. It is a perennial herb or subshrub growing up to 1 ft (0.30 m) tall.[3] It has a Circumboreal distribution and can be found throughout the northern latitudes of Eurasia and North America.[4] It grows in moist areas.[5] Flowers bloom June to August.[5] The plant is mostly self-pollinating; it does not even bother to attract pollinators with the scent of its flowers or by secreting nectar.[6]

Description

[edit]
Fruit

It is a sclerophyll, with leaves that appear in rosettes.[6] The blades are 2-5 cm wide[6] and simple and basal in arrangement.[4] They are quite thin, broadly elliptic with a round or abruptly tapering tip. The leaf-stalk is usually shorter than the blade. The spherical flowers are nodding, 5-7 mm wide. The sepals are triangular. Gynoecia are inside the flower, with a short style.[6] Flowers have five petals that are pale pink to rose in color.[5] The fruit of the flower are nodding 5-segmented capsules; the style of the gynoecia are preserved at the tip of the capsule.[6]
