--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Herbs,</b> terrestrial, rhizomatous, scapose, glabrous except for rather sticky, multicellular hairs on peduncles, bracts, sepals, and ovaries. <b>Roots</b> arising from nodes of rhizome, fibrous. <b>Stems</b> erect, with rosette of leaves, not succulent. <b>Leaves</b> evergreen, more than 1, in basal rosette, petiolate; blade commonly marked with white to pale green. <b>Inflorescences</b> terminal, 5–72-flowered spikes, erect; peduncles with sheathing bracts. <b>Flowers</b> resupinate, white, sometimes tinged green, ivory, or brown, sessile; sepals distinct, nearly equal; dorsal sepal and petals forming hood; lip free from column, fleshy, base concave to saccate, apex ligulate or pointed; anther 1, erect or inflexed; pollinia 2, sectile; rostellum notched or 2-pronged. <b>Fruits</b> capsules, erect, dehiscing along 3 ribs.</span><!--

--><p>The four species of <i>Goodyera</i> in the flora are sometimes difficult to distinguish, especially without flowers. This difficulty is compounded, even with flowers, by the intermediate nature of <i>Goodyera tesselata</i>, which is likely an allotetraploid derived from <i>G. repens</i> with white-reticulate leaves and <i>G. oblongifolia</i>, and by the presence of triploid hybrids in some mixed populations of the three species.</p>
