Parnassia grandifolia is a rare perennial of shaded stream banks, boggy cypress stands and white cedar swamps of the southeastern United States. It is an endangered species in Florida and Kentucky, threatened in North Carolina and a species of special concern in Tennessee.
Much of the year, only the basal rosette of long-petiolate leaves are apparent. The leaves are round to ovate with palmate veins. The distinctive flowers appear in the fall at the top of long leafless stalks and have five white petals, each with 5-9 slightly branched, bright green veins. The ovary is greenish and the anthers are reddish.
