I'm sure i have some anecdotal information about this shot, but I'm at a loss at the moment. DESCRIPTION: A single yellow flower atop a smooth-stemmed plant with many branches. The flowers are about 1/2" wide with 4 very rounded petals, framed by 4 green sepals of unequal length. The leaves are lanceolate, 2 - 4" long and smooth-margined. The plant rarely grows above 3' tall. FLOWERS: June to September HABITAT: Swamps, bog-margins, and around moist edges of lakes. OTHER INFORMATION: The reason for its name is the little 'package' fruit that bears the seed is almost perfectly square on top and contains many seeds. The almost round petals seem barely connected to the stem.   OTHER OBSERVATIONS: My observations about this plant can be found at: OFFSITE INFORMATION: If you're interested
